Bottle acquired in trade with DarkElf (thanks!). Poured a lighter, slightly hazy gold color with a smaller sized white head. Sweet and fruit aromas and tastes with some citrus. Starts of sweet and ends in a spicy and somewhat bitter finish.

Clean golden appearance with a thick foamy white head. Light candy-sweet aroma shows hints of European hops. Body is light, with some very mild sugary malt and a slightly bitter finish. Decent brew, but could use a little more balance.

Bottle courtesy of BMan1113VR. Pours gold with a generous rocky head. Smells lightly fruity with some grassy undertones. Tastes of grass, a touch of lemon, wildflowers, perfumy. Great beer!

Bottle: Golden, light white head and lacing. Nose of light wheat and malt. Pale and light, less fruit that I’d espect. Very grassy, citrusy and pale. Husky malt finish. Light sawdustyness and a subtle malty finish. Forced.
