Notes:

From a friend: "Citrus on the nose; subtle, but firm, like a friend you haven't talked to in awhile but would show up if you called them. Bright and fresh up front, this beer is begging for a picnic blanket and a warm summer day. Finish is malty, but crisp, as if it's inviting you to take another sip. You can taste the love brewed into this beer all the way from seed to swig".
