Last Resort
Societe Brewing Co.

 

Canned 5/3/24, poured into a tall hefe glass on 6/21/24. Slightly hazy pale yellow topped by 4-fingers of white fluffy head which recedes to 2 fingers in 3 minutes. 11 minutes after pouring I still have 1/8 inch of dense foam… and nice lacing left behind as I drink it down. Fairly subtle smell and flavor…some coriander, orange peel, slight banana but this is not a good selection for someone looking for a wallop to the senses… it is fairly subtle. The appearance is the star here.

Packaged on May 3rd, enjoyed on June 8th, 2024 - poured from a 12oz can into my Hoegaarden tumbler.

Cloudy naples yellow body with a layer of ivory cream up top. Fine sandy lacing; good retention.

Delicate aroma with wheat, barley, and hints of orange and spice (coriander?).

Bright, direct, not-quite-tart palate entry with a nice mix of citrus and clean malt. Low bitterness, fairly neutral yeast. Medium-dry finish with a lingering orange/lemon element.

Pillowy, soft, medium-bodied, yet quenching.

While never bland, this is a fairly one-note example of the style. Refreshing and enjoyable none-the-less, especially on a hot day.
