Early Bird

◎ Appearance

Early Bird presents a pale golden hue with good transparency and a fine, persistent head. The carbonation is evident and lively, creating a light foam that maintains reasonable lacing along the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright blackberry and lemon notes, supported by a subtle wheat grain character and gentle herbal undertones from the Willamette and Centennial hops. A light malty sweetness frames the fruit without overwhelming it, creating an inviting and refreshing opening.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced berry and tart lemonade flavors, balanced by a restrained malty foundation from the 2-Row Pale and toasted wheat. Moderate bitterness from the 30 IBU provides structure without harshness, while the oats contribute a soft, smooth texture that bridges fruit and grain.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively short, with lingering citrus and berry notes fading to a dry, wheat-tinged aftertaste. At 4.5% ABV, the beer drinks light and refreshing, ideal for warm weather consumption.
