Notes:

Appearance: Golden. Pretty clear. Nice head, but doesn't stick around for long. Could be fluffier. Consider adding a little dextrin malt. Aromatics: a little bubblegum, banana that reminds me of Laffy Taffy. Clean. Palette: Clean. Pink lemonade with other ideas of citrus dancing around. Maybe a little orange and lime. Nice acidity. Tart and lean without being too much. Next time: want a more interesting fermentation character. Consider playing around with the yeast. Maybe Kolsch or Conan. Could be a little fluffier. Up the wheat (maybe some unmalted wheat). Can definitely up the oats and rye (10 percent of each?). Consider a little carapils.
