Pub Draught
Hinterland Brewery

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours orange red with a small off white head. Smells of bright citrus, with a bit of floral. Tastes of caramelized grain with citrus hops. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a very good beer.

 

 

Had at the Milwaukee Hinterland on tap. L: Pours hazy amber under an off-white foam cap. S: A little lemon and malt on the nose. T: Biscuit and toffee on the palate with citrus notes. F: Very creamy, clean and smooth. O: this is served on a nitro tap so it is exceptionally creamy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12 oz nitro tap pour into a pint glass at Hinterland in the Third Ward, Milwaukee.

A - The nitro pour is lacking the classic cascading due to the poor pour/ delivery. Tiny carbonation bubbles cling disgustingly to the whole glass showing how dirty it is. (This is a quality issue for the location so it doesn't affect my grade on the beer's appearance.) A dense creamy head rests on top of a hazy amber beer.

S - This pub beer starts with a mild cold aroma of light English hops and toasted biscuity malts but never amounts to more than a faint hint of aroma.

T - Cold and dusty, flaky biscuit-like toasted malts with a hint of toffee and mild English hops to the finish, Pub Draught is fair but needs some work here.

M - Very smooth and silky with a satisfying refreshing quality and a dry, light hop finish. It's also served far too cold. It needs to be around 55° F, not around 40°F (or below).

D - Good drinkability for what it is, but it needs to be served much warmer for starters. That may allow the aroma and flavor to open up more.

on nitro tap at the satellite pub in Milwaukee. pours a rich amber color with a razor thin-edged creamy off white head that takes a minute or two to settle out. wonderful retention and solid lacings. looks great in the glass.

aroma is of smooth, spiced hop notes along with light notes of banana, citrus, and very light pale malts in the background.

taste follows the nose with the same hop notes and subtle banana & citrus hop notes along with a balancing spiced hop character. this all comes together in a very smooth and drinkable profile. not bitter at all in the end. solid!

mouthfeel is light bodied and super smooth with a very well proportioned feel. it has the smooth hop notes without the bitterness.

drinkability is great. for a pale on nitro, this is very well done. solid hop character and very easy drinking. cheers!
