On tap @ Rockyard poured a clear gold with a lasting white head. Aromas of wheat, light straw, light spice and a hint of citrus. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a slightly dry finish. Flavors of wheat, straw and a hint of spice with a crisp dry finish.

Clear and medium yellow-gold. Crisp and clean mouthfeel with a lively carbonation. Light body. Subtle sweetness (honey) in the malts; bready, too. Decent amount of bitterness balances well. Hops were actually pretty nice, especially for this style. They were a little spicy and bitter, and actually contributed a little flavor. Other notes of white wine and apples. OK beer, but not too exciting.

A decent lighter beer, a good start. fragrant hop nose, body is really bready and malty, with a bit of spicy hop bitterness.
