Front Street Bitter
Diamond Knot Brewery

I had this on-tap in a dimpled mug at the Diamond Knot brewpub in Mountlake Terrace.

Appearance: medium orange hue with a light haze and a finger of creamy ivory foam. Nice.

Smell: light aroma of slightly citrusy hops. Not too complex, but nice enough.

Taste: toasty malt with an earthy hop flavor. Bitterness is on the high side, but overall this is a balanced and quite satisfying bitter.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: this beer really pleases me. Its flavor fits my preferences for this style to a T.

 

A pale, honey-gold ale with a profuse bread dough aroma and gobs of foamy head leaving striated lace galore. Though yeasts dominate, they are respectfully clean and dry, making for a refreshing, easy drinking session ale that serves its function admirably. Dry hopping with Glacier hops enhances quaffability.
