This light golden ale pours with persistent, white, delicate foam. Very clear and bright, the beer appears to have been filtered quite heavily. Subtle aromas of earthy cereal grains and gentle citrus lead to comparable flavor notes of cracked wheat, light lemon zest and extremely subdued hops that provide a hint of pleasant bitterness in the dry finish. With a wispy body, mild carbonation and modest alcohol content, this understated ale comes across as a very restrained beer that’s quaffable, refreshing and thirst quenching.
