Enjoyed at Spiteful Brewery (Chicago, Illinois): Thursday, June 10, 2021 Spiteful Buzz Worthy

Brewer Notes: This is a 16 oz draft pour into a nonic. 6% ABV, a Pale Ale with Honey. Per my discussion with their bartender, this is their Stubborn Sally base, brewed with honey. Hops are Simcoe, Citra, Amarillo.

Appearance: Clear crisp clean faint straw colour base, bright fine fizzy bubble head leaves thin lacing. Light carbonation. 3.75

Aroma: Light grassy aroma, lemon, citrus with the honey coming through well. Enticing, but light in strength. 3.75

Taste: Consistent with the aroma, but stronger. The honey leads, gives gravitas, creaminess and wonderful flavor, and a nice balance to the bitter hop combo. Yes please. 4.25

Mouthfeel: Light fizzy persistent carbonation, medium body, honey adds a creamy weight to this pour. Easy drinking, crisp clean finish. Leans bitter overall and lightly dry, honey and Citra doing its best to keep the bitterness in check. 4.0

Overall: This is a nice easy great Summer offering. Light and easy to drink, firm bitterness balanced with a wonderful honey component. They just released this one and I want to complement them for another wonderful beer. Need to hunt down Stubborn Sally in the future to compare and contrast. Really glad I stopped in the taproom today! 4.25
