Low B / GOOD
***
03/08/2018 nabbed a crowler while at the OKC brewpub on 03/05/18. Cost was $10 for 32oz (including the can of course).
5% ABV. Pale ale per the brewpub.
HEAD: Off-white colour. Healthy and long-lasting (~8-10 minutes).
BODY: Murky hazy yellow-orange. Appears unfiltered, though there're no visible yeast/lees.
Appears well-carbonated.
AROMA: Tropical fruit. Guava. Papaya. Pulp.
Pale malts.
Aromatic intensity is moderately high. I find no off-notes.
TASTE: Matches the aroma but with low concomitant perceptible bitterness. Pulpy but not juicy, lacking that freshy citrusy zing one might look for. Not piney, resinous, oily, grapefruity, sprucy, etc. Tropical fruit emphatic, hinting at guava and papaya but not passionfruit, mango, tangerine, or pineapple.
Balanced but a bit lacking in terms of hop pungency (as many of these johnny-come-lately low bitterness {India} pale ales often are) and depth of flavour. Adequately intricate, though it lacks the nuance and layering of flavour observed in, say, Alpine Pale Ale.
TEXTURE: Pulpy, medium-bodied, well-carbonated, refreshing, smooth, wet, and soft. Not oily, gushed, hot, boozy, astringent, harsh, rough or scratchy.
Its softness is its best attribute texture-wise. It's an approachable mouthfeel, but the carbonation could use toning down and dialing in.
OVERALL: Good work from Prairie, but not up there with the best in the style. $5 a pint was well worth it once to give this another taste, but with Sierra Nevada's classic expression of the style hovering comfortably at $9.99 USD per 72 fl oz nationwide, I'd be hard-pressed to buy this regularly in spite of its obvious quality (not that price has any effect on my rating). Well worth trying if you chance across it, but not worth going out of one's way for in my humble opinion.
