Pours a beautiful, crystal clear, golden yellow color with a ton of bubbles rising to the top. I really couldn't believe how clear this beer was. It has a billowing white head with very nice lacing around the glass. The foam was pure white - not a hint of any color at all. A truly amazing looking beer.

Has an aroma of very yeasty/doughy bread with a spicy twang to it. Lots of light fruity citrus aromas, with a little mustiness. I pick only a bit of the alcohol giving it almost a fresh mint smell (at least it seemed like mint). There are plenty of earthy hops in there as well.

It tastes very much like it smells - yeasty and spicy with lemon and some white grape flavors. There is plenty of earthiness to it as well. As is warmed up some sweet malty flavors came out a little. There's a mild bitterness on the finish. There is almost a champagne like quality about the flavors.

It's very light bodied, but not watery in any way. There's some gentle fizzy bubbles that are little sharp on swallowing. It has a light juicy feel to it, but very dry at the same time.

This is a great beer. Very light, crisp and refreshing, yet full of flavor. It has almost an elegant quality to it.
