What Our Editors Thought

"Clear golden hues with subtle bready aromatics. The structured body features light floral notes and restrained sweetness, finishing with an inviting bitterness."

What Our Panel Thought

"Pleasant noble hop aromatics with a nice dose of cracker malt and light red apple ester create a clean and inviting nose. The sip is as expected with a nice light malt sweetness balanced by a firm but clean noble hop bitterness. The finish is clean and smooth with just a touch of lingering bitterness that may appeal to those wanting just a little more hop character than the traditional style may provide."

What the Brewers Say

"This ale delivers a clean crisp and perfectly balanced flavor w/ a moderately light note. The flavor is soft with a slight fruit- and honey- like sweetness including a light hop bite with a clean but dry finish."
