Pours out a hazy gold with tons of carbonation in the body, a thick, fluffy, eggshell head that forms plateaus and dips, and thick, raised lacing on the glass. Smell is a mix of pale malts, spicy yet subdued Belgian yeast, light stone fruits, lemon, and grassy hops. Taste is crisp, pale malts, some grain, some light fruit, herbs and spice. Finishes dry and the aftertaste is cracker-like. Mouthfeel leans toward full, which I guess could be attributed to the oats, and the carbonation is soft. Solid drinkability, but I don't think I could make a session out of this.

Gold colored beer, some haziness going on. Small head, decent lacing, average retention.
Minimal aroma escaping, lemonbread.
Same in the taste, mild bitter/tart aspect. Plenty of carbonation, hops stay away. Something to push into spring with I guess. No off flavors.
