One of my favorite styles, and in a craft beer industry that is obsessed with big beers and ever-increasing ABV, it's fairly unusual to find. Craft brewers don't think that craft drinkers want a beer with only 5.5% ABV, and that you can see through like Budweiser, I guess.
Wow, one of the clearest beers I've ever seen. It's a bright yellow with just a twinge of amber, and a huge pillowy off-white head that stays forever.
Nice light, malty smell with a floral, almost soapy smell at first. Lavender, maybe? Slightly pils-ish when cold, but when it warms it gets a hint of that Belgian/German wit smell that I don't like.
Back toward pilsner in the taste, it's very lightly bitter with no distinct hops flavor. Light malt as well, it's clean and crisp. This would make an excellent lawnmower beer as well. More flavor than any macro of the same clarity/color/body, but still very drinkable.
