- Pour: The PowMow pours a fairly clear, bright straw yellow hue with a frothy, 1+ finger, bright white head with great retention and lots of sticky, intricate lacing.
- Nose: The nose is grainy, citrusy, and grassy. There are aromas of pale malts, crisp grains, lemongrass, lemon zest, light grapefruit rind, cracked wheat, freshly cut hay, and light caramel.
- Taste: The taste of the PowMow follows the nose with grainy, hoppy, citrusy flavors. There are notes of lemon zest, very light grapefruit juice, grassy hops, lightly toasted wheat bread, crackery biscuit, and light pine.
- Mouthfeel: Light medium-bodied with moderate carbonation, the mouthfeel of the PowMow is very crisp and refreshing with a dry, fairly clean finish.
