32 oz. growler filled at the brewery three days ago.
A - Beer pours a hazy, washed-out very pale straw-yellow. A two-finger head of quite loose eggshell-white foam sets up quickly, and then completely collapses into just a swirl of fine lace on the surface almost as fast. Held to a full-spectrum light, the beer is a cloudy golden peach-orange and rather opaque, with just a shadow of a finger visible through the glass. The last glass of the growler was thick and foggy, indicating the growler needed a gentle rolling before serving. Definitely unfiltered.
S - Moderate and somewhat subdued nose of citrus hops (orange, grapefruit, and lemon) with mango, all backed by a touch of resin and dried flowers. Underneath this are notes of lightly toasted bread with a bit of marmalade and honey. Left to warm in the glass, the nose takes on a bit of an earthy, peaty characteristic, and the hops disappear.
T - Wheat crackers. Light whole-grain toast. Hints of orange/lemon drops. Noble bittering hops emerge on the back-end, but then give way again to the malt. As it warms in the glass, hints of light butterscotch emerge, but the overall taste profile gets a tad washed-out. Finish leaves echos of moist bread and a very light caramel with orange notes.
M - Somewhat fizzy. Moderate carbonation. Body is soft and thin without being watery. Integration of components is respectable, living together in a structure that provides each some space. Light, short finish leaves a touch of light malt on the palate.
O - My first impression was that this was a gentle pale ale where the malts asserted themselves in the taste to balance the hops in the nose, but as it warmed up, it became clear that this was an Americanized interpretation of a lighter Scotch ale. Unfortunately, the taste profile becomes rather muddled when warm. Billed as an 80 schilling, it's punching above its true weight class, as the caramelization is pretty minimal, so the sugars appear more candied than expected. It's only a 4% beer, so the softness is understandable, but compared to most Scotch ales, this one is but a pup.
