About

Appearance: Bright yellow slightly hazy with a little sediment (its an unfiltered brew)
Smell: grassy, from the dandelion, and notes of lemon citrus!
Taste: Very very refreshing, citrus lemony, grassy
Feel:  Smooth, low to medium carbonation!
Overall:  Loved this, probably my new favorite summer beer!  Unbelievably refreshing, I could drink this over and over again.
