Locust Lane Craft Brewery "ERCC 50th Anniversary Ale"
16 fl. oz. can, "CANNED ON 02/08/22 13:03 VOTE FOR CHARITY", and sampled on 02/19/22
Notes via stream of consciousness: This beer is labeled at 5.1% ABV but listed at 5.0% ABV at the brewery. It's for the 50th Anniversary of the Exton Region Chamber of Commerce, and is labeled as a west coast pale ale. It's poured a cloudy golden-orange body beneath a thumb's width of densely creamy, and rocky, slightly off-white foam. The aroma is fairly mild but it does display some citrus, resin, and pine over a light, grainy malt base. I should also point out that this is a pale ale, and not an IPA, and that it seems to me that many people expect every beer to have a bright and bold aroma these days because so many brewers have done that. I'm perfectly fine with the level of aroma and I'm just saying it's fairly mild on an overall scale. On to the taste... it's definitely got some resin and pine to it! The malt is sweetish and bready, and a little different. I initially thought of Pilsner malt (grassy, grainy) but then I also thought of rye (a touch spicy). It's probably not Pilsner malt but there might be some rye in there. I also suspect wheat but what do I know? My point is that the malt has some character to it. As to the citrus I'm getting orange and grapefruit, and along with the pine and resin it's also a touch grassy. The head has dropped at this point but I still have a solid surface covering, and there's some very nice lacing that's been left behind. A solid bitterness balances it, leaving the malt sweetish cut cutting through, and then ultimately hammering out a dry and bitter finish. Some citrus, pine, and resin linger and fade away in that order. In the mouth it's medium bodied and crisp with what seems like a natural carbonation. There's a little bit of zest right off the bat but then it softens and becomes smooth. I don't know how this Anniversary beer came about but the ERCC has come up with a beer that they can be proud of. Now, just one little thing. I personally feel that it's a little too hazy for a west coast pale ale but at the same time things have changed. The head retention and lacing are very good so I'm going to give it a pass and score it as a 4.25 out of 5. Nicely done. Well brewed.
