On tap at the brewery today. This is the first in a series of Brewmaster specials.

Light golden yellow with a dense, white head with excellent retention and a little lacing, this looks great! The nose is solid. Plenty of yeasty phenols along with pleasantly spicy notes (white pepper, clove, a little bubblegum). Moderate honey sweetness is present too.

The palate opens with a blend of yeasty phenols and honey. This isn't sweet (it is reasonably light on the palate), but it does carry plenty of sweeter flavors - honey, candi sugar - along with an alcohol bite that cuts through it and lends a mild bitterness. Mildly hoppy with a modest, appropriate bitterness. Drying, spicy and a little alcoholic on the finish, there is a little astringency present, but not enough to leave too much of a bad impression. Mediu-medium light in body with moderate carbonation, this feels pretty decent. Recommended, but I doubt anyone else will review this beer here.
