This beer is inspired by the pre-prohibition American lagers. The name comes from the Swedish colony located on both sides of Delaware Bay 1638-1655.
The colour is pale golden yellow; the firm two finger thick is off-white and firm. Some lacing.
The rather insipid smell is mild and sweet with notes of honey, sweet loaf and a minimal touch of bitterness.
The taste is bitter with low body. The malt got some roasted notes. The aftertaste is strong with lots of malts and bitter hops; a sweet meaty-salty flavour of gravy and honey. American aroma hops? Sure.
The carbonation is strong with lots of large bubbles. Fine.
A much better beer than I expected from Three Towns. Not perfect in any way but at least it got some character.
