Chain Mail Pale Ale sports a glimmering panoply of hops over nimble Pilsner and wheat malts for a profile that is as balanced as a trebuchet and delivers a siege of flavor. If you’re searching for the Holy Grail of pale ales, Chain Mail is a quaffable delight fit for a queen! Chain Mail Pale Ale was specially brewed for the Ohio Renaissance Festival, and is a limited, draft only release.

12 oz can canned 8/16/24 into a Becker glass.
L: SRM 3.5 pours light golden Amber color with a 1/4" soapy off-white head that slowly goes to a creamy drifty froth, medium steady carbo, med-thick random complex lacing.
S: Caramelized malts, citrus, pineapple, berries, a hint of cereal grains, hard candy.
T: Taste follows aroma and is moderately tangy, a touch of lemon, a suggestion of distant bread, cookie dough in the finish.
F: Lightly brisk then fairly smooth medium-light bodied feel with a medium length moderately drying finish and dryness lingers.
O: Tasty and refreshing. Has a nice lighter body making it very easy to drink. It gives a nod to WC Ales by having a lemony dry finish. It is very good in its style.

It's a warm labor day here in the states. I just finished a good leg workout and now it's time to reward myself with a burrito and a nice beer or 4. Rhinegeist are known for their Truth IPA which is just an objectively decent IPA and a local staple.
Pour is a nice gold color with a modest but fluffy head. Poured into a Delirium glass btw...didn't have a pint glass clean.
Nose - simple and light grains and toasted malt with a light hop note. Simple, clean, and smells refreshing. Just what I am looking for.
Taste - Bready caramel malt with light hops. Clean, easy drinking, and not over the top with malt as many american brands including Rhinegeist have been guilty of lately. Might even have an ever so crisp sour berry note in the finish.
Honestly just a refreshing beer. Nothing special what so ever, but a good summer beer and it's got more going on than their bud light attempt (which isn't that bad to be honest with you). I'd buy a 6 pack on a hot day.
