12oz bottle shared courtesy of egajdzis. Poured a medium and clear golden color with a very small sized head. Aromas of wheat, citrus, and some spices. Thinner tastes of teh same.

Tap at Rattle N Hum. Pale golden-amber pour. The nose has a lot of rotted peach sweetness along with a light spiciness. A touch of bready malts with some light bubble gum towards the back. It finishes surprisingly clean, considering how estery it is. Very lean bitterness on the back. I like it even though it has some flaws. Sessionable.

Pours light gold with 1-finger white head. Nose is lemon, lime, spice, white pepper, perfumy florals, peaches, and honey. Tastes limejuicy, malty, with honey, pale malt, florals, and spicy peppery notes. Palate is a tad watery, but this beer is very refreshing.
