Pours: A light, hazy orange with a thin white head that dissipates quickly but leaves a touch of lacing.
Nose: Bright notes of citrus - orange and clementine. Subtle wheat aromas balance out the citrus for a fresh, inviting scent.
Flavor: Smooth and balanced, with flavors of wheat, white bread, and vibrant citrus. Orange and tangerine shine, making this an easy sipper.
