New Anthem Beer Project

 

A: Pours a slightly hazy pale golden yellow in color with moderate to heavy amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate lemon yellow + straw yellow + pale yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall sudsy foamy bright white head that slowly reduces to a medium sized patch of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of slightly mottled thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate to significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of earthy + herbal + citrus/grapefruit + citrus/grapefruit pith + floral hops over the top of light aromas of cracker + bready + caramel malts with a hint of caramel sweetness. Light aromas of lager yeast.

T: Upfront there are light flavors of cracker + bready + caramel malts with a hint of caramel sweetness. That is followed by light flavors of lager yeast. Finally there are slightly stronger than moderate flavors of earthy + herbal + citrus/grapefruit + citrus/grapefruit pith + floral hops which impart a light amount of lingering bitterness as well as a light amount of lingering citrus/grapefruit pith hoppy flavors.

M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp upfront with a hint of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly crisp mouthfeel - refreshing. Enjoyable with a very nice hoppy flavor and aroma over a solid American Pilsner.
