Don't Call Me Baby
New Anthem Beer Project

A: Pours a very hazy to murky medium golden peach in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate apricot + pale honey + medium golden yellow + bright yellow + pale orange colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy white head that slowly reduces to a large patch of thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and thin ring at the edges of the glass. Slightly heavier than moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of citrus/grapefruit + citrus/grapefruit zest + herbal + pine hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + pale + oat malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness.

T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of biscuit + pale + oat malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of citrus/grapefruit + citrus/grapefruit zest + herbal + pine hops which impart a moderate amount of lingering bitterness.

M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Initially slightly crisp with a light to moderate amounts of soft/fluffiness mid-body and a light amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly soft/fluffy mouthfeel. Interesting hybrid of West Coast IPA and NEIPA - NE mouthfeel with West Coast hop profile and bitterness.
