Birds Fly South Ale Project

A: Pours a relatively clear pale yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and faint pale golden yellow + bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall fizzy sudsy foamy off-white head that quickly reduces to a large patch of very slightly mottled very thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of biscuit + grainy malts with a light amount of light fruit (apple + pear + white grape) sweetness. Light aromas of floral + spicy hops. Hints of an almost lager yeast presence.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of biscuit + grainy + wheat malts with a light amount of light fruit (apple + pear + white grape) sweetness. That is followed by a hint of something very similar to a lager yeast flavor. Finally there is a light flavor of floral + spicy hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away fairly quickly leaving a relatively clean finish.

M: Slightly heavier than light bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly crisp upfront with a relatively clean finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly refreshing crisp + clean mouthfeel. Enjoyable and I could easily have a few of these.
