Poured gold, little head. Not that much head could form in the taster I had. Sweet and a little grainy, like a sugar cookie. Maybe with a bit more hop this could balance out. Pretty sticky and heavy for a light ale. Will say, at least they try to do some different things here. But don't care for this one. Had a feeling I wouldn't, but why not for a free try.

Serving type: on-tap

Pours a cloudy light golden yellow color. Small white head with sticky lace.
Aroma is palee malt, grain, hint of lemon or honey and Tettnang hops.
Flavor - Best way I can describe is a bitter Hefeweizen. Starts with a lot of plae malt and grain and then moves to a slightly citrus tanged note then finishes with moderate bittering.
Mouthfeel is solid carbonation and overall feel but nothing to hang on to or savor, nothing distinctive. Somewhat disappointing finish.
Drinkability is solid but unspectacular.
