Appearance:

(best before Nov-2012) Hazy, pale golden with a moderate white head depositing heavy lacing.

Aroma:

Faint rubber band-like aromas pervade crusty white bread with mild grassy hops.

Taste:

Moderatly bitter piny hops add interest to a light bodied lager-like ale.

Aftertaste:

Lingering hop and grapefruit zestyness.
