650ml bottle - the second new offering created in honour of the brewer's twin sons' first birthday. Made with 'American hops', which contradicts their general label claim of using European hops.
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves a bit of dense spiderweb lace around the glass as it slowly but surely dissipates.
It smells of gritty and bready wheat malt, a further cereal graininess, prominent Belgian yeast, a hint of underripe banana, and some tame earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, a lesser crackery wheat thing, some phenolic yeastiness, subtle white pepper and coriander spice notes, and more weak leafy, citrusy, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly restrained in its perfunctory frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, but for a touch of yeasty intransigence making a dent in the veneer here. It finishes trending dry, the malt bottoming out, while the yeast and generally banal hop bitterness carry on carryin' on.
Overall - this is certainly another well-rendered version of the base style, but I'm not getting much in the way of the unspecified Yankee hops. That's ok - little Oscar can grow up proud that his family has some prodigious old-school brewing prowess.
