4.6% abv

12oz bottle

$9.99 a six pack

Also listed on the bottle for brewing facilities:

Portland, OR; Woodinville, WA; Portsmouth, NH

Appearance: bright yellow gold body with a half finger white head with a fairly aggressive pour for a lager; no lacing

Aroma: bready; touch of sour dough; faint non-descript fruit and hops

Look at those bubbles rising to the top

Flavors: dry floral grassy hops; sour dough bread; white bread;

Mouthfeel: feels a bit heavy for a lager; I feel full after one; dry; grassy; a bit metallic; doesn’t seem refreshing to me;

To the Point: an Island Lager with some character compared to other ‘island’ beers; comes across non-descript at times; just call it another lager with some character but not enough to distinguish itself
