Built for the Railbird Music Festival, a style specific taste rolls out of the West Sixth brewery and into the summery grounds of Keenland in a Cream Ale with crisp taste and an effortless texture, perfect for beating the heat and grooving to the tunes.
Coming with a standard medium golden color and sprinkled with a modest haze, the frothy Front Runner settles quickly with a scent of cereal grains, citrusy hops and an overall nondescript milder ale scent. Sweeter on the initial taste, its cereal quality is of mild honey wheat, light caramel and a gentle toasted character.
Its hops begin to balance the sweetness as the ale embarks upon the middle palate. Grapefruit, orange peel and the herbal medley of verbena and spruce offset the cereal grains to a nearly perfect sense of balance. Not reading like corn, the beer's drier and crisper tone begins to take on a Blond Ale character that leads onto the late palate with a fresh pine resin bitterness.
Medium light in body, the beer's sweetness suggests something more moderate but the hops and dryness bring the beer to a drying, crisp and clean finish with a medium short bitterness that lingers in aftertaste for an ideal taste to suit the hot weather event.
