Still playing catch up. I feel like I'll never catch up. Nevertheless, when all feels hopeless, I just have to keep pushing on. I will persevere! I will review as much as I can without trying to consume less beer! There's nothing special about how I ended up drinking this one. Had one after work, with some dinner.
The beer was poured into a pilsner glass (how appropriate). Had a very light gold color, which is a color I don't see very often. I've been favoring a lot of darker beers, so seeing a light colored brew was a refreshing change of pace. I always pour aggressively, ended up getting over two fingers of white head. Had some decent retention to it, with some light bits of lace on the glass. Considering the style, I wasn't expecting much for aroma but was able to pick out some grassy and citrus notes to go with the familiar aroma of grainy malt.
The taste is subtle, but it's there. This is no adjunct lager. There's a minor note of sweetness that comes through with the malts, but then the hops come forward and helps keep the finish dry. It also will hit your nose, making it more noticeable than your watery beers. I think it's a little hoppier than I'm used to for the style, but I don't have any complaints. Light bodied and highly carbonated. Drink this cold, it doesn't do as well when it warms. Still, a very sessionable beer that would work great in the summer.
