It is effervescent from within.

The smell is grainy and bready with a dose of floral and citrus hops showing up.

The taste is smooth and mellow, but still hoppy and full. The hops are bitter and tasty, and also well-balanced with the malt presence. It is amazingly crisp and clean feeling, while at the same time tasting and feeling solid throughout.

This beer is easy drinking and enjoyable. This is not an extreme beer, but it is extremely well-crafted. It has enough flavor to please the hard core, but at the same time, it isn't so over the top that it would put off the uninitiated. A great go-to beer for any fridge.
