UPDATED: APR 18, 2022 750mL growler filled 4/7/22, drunk 4/18/22. Crystal clear, well-carbonated, brilliant brass-golden. Small, but dense, white head showing moderate-to-strong retention. Soft, delicate herbs dot a dainty, honey-and-white bread malt base with additional rustic grain notes as it warms/breathes. Clean, crisp, clear, chalk full of lovely minerality and showing no alcohol, flaw and, even for a German helles, very low hopping. Sweet malts add honey and white bread dough. Tight carbonation helps distribute the hop bitterness, which is very low here, though ample. I love that that's the case, allowing the malt to really do the work here, as it should. Great mineral character, fresh herbs, honey. Crisp enough, yet malty. Drinkable and quenching, yet highly flavorful. Pretty god damned spectacular. Now I REALLY want to try Poetica.

UPDATED: OCT 11, 2021 Draft at the brewery, served in a mug-shaped glass with a handle. Pours a lightly cloudy yellow-gold with a finger of white head that settles into a thick ring and film. Notes of pale and biscuit malts, grass, straw, light florals and orchard fruits, and wood. Light-plus bodied, with medium carbonation and a malty, crisp mouthfeel. Excellent.

UPDATED: OCT 4, 2021 On tap at the source Hill Farmstead. After buying some bottles to go, I stopped in the tasting room and got this because they did not have and Hoppy beers available! I drank it while waiting inlong line for thier one bathroom. It was very mild drink.

UPDATED: JUL 30, 2020 Growler. Pours a hazy gold with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is strong earth, grass, citrus, wet biscuit. Slick body, sharp, bitter, grass, toasted malt, dry finish, very nice.
