Fear the Paper Tiger
Trophy Brewing

 

A: Pours a clear medium yellow in color with slightly heavier than moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and faint pale golden yellow + straw yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall sudsy foamy bright white head that reduces to a couple of small to medium sized patches of medium thick film and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of citrus/lime, citrus/lemon, stone fruit/peach, stone fruit/apricot, and herbal hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + bready malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + bready malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by slightly stronger than moderate flavors of citrus/lime, citrus/lemon, stone fruit/peach, stone fruit/apricot, and herbal hops which impart a slightly stronger than light amount of lingering bitterness.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with slightly heavier than moderate amounts of carbonation. Initially slightly crisp with a light amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol, refreshing, and enjoyable. Pleasant combination of hop flavors and aromas. I could easily see myself having a few of these this summer on warm evening sitting out on the porch.
