Modest Maytag
Trickster's Brewing Company

Draft at Homebrew stuff. Clear golden pour, thin head. Malty, grainy aroma. Taste is bready malts with a thin layer of hops. Mildly bitter, very approachable. Really like this

a really impressive new one from these guys, using an experimental hop, simple beer, clear ipa, nice for this to be minimal enough for this new hop to really shine. mosaic and equinox in the mix too, but there is a decidedly unique hop complexion here that goes well beyond what these more familiar varietals bring to the table, and i super dig it. light rust orange color to this, great clarity, and a creamy inch of just off white foam from the tap with carbonating trickling up to join it, nice looking pint. id love to know more about this new numbered hop, its real interesting here, especially against the backdrop of pineapple notes from the mosaic and clean citrus from the equinox. i get mango, hash oil, and lemon cream, almost a sorachi ace layer to it, not quite dill-esque, but fresh herbal too, and then with the resinous here moving towards a woodsy northwestern finish, also packing some decent bitterness late. i also get peach and juniper as it warms, light weed-like character, and a little orange. there is some honey sweetness from the malt and an ever so slight toasted layer, but its out of the way, fully in a support role, and not old school or anything. this is real modern beer, better refined than anything i have had from these guys until now, and wonderfully hopped, i love this experimental and they way they used it here. a treat to drink on tap, looking forward to my next pint of it already. a new high water mark for tricksters!
