12 oz bottle purchased at Kenny Road Market last weekend.

Poured a gold color with a generous amount of white head that fizzles and leaves some lacing around. Aroma is very crisp with some light grain build. PLenty of lacing for this. Taste is very hop filled with a grassy/floral back drop. Mouth feel is very clean and crisp. I think I have found a new fave session beer. Might have to pickup some more of this one.

Thanks to siege06nd for bringing over a growler of this to share. It poured golden amber in color with a thin, spotty white head clinging to the edges of the glass.

The aroma has a nice mix of crisp, slightly tart fruits and pale, grainy malts. I get a little bit of a floral hoppiness to it as well. It's a well balanced aroma.

The taste shows more of the crisp fruits up front with some floral and bitter citrus notes coming out in the finish. I get some sweeter, grainy, pale malts to it along with a little bit of an earthy spice. Very smooth and balanced overall.

The mouthfeel is medium bodied for the style and carbonation is moderate. Overall It was a pretty solid beer of the style. It was flavorful, easy drinking and well balanced.
