New Anthem Beer Project

A: Pours a relatively clear light to medium golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and moderate bright yellow + pale yellow + pale brassy + pale copper colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall sudsy foamy light beige head that slowly reduces to a handful of small to medium sized patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of mottled very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thick ring at the edges of the glass. Slightly heavier than moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of bready + lightly toasted + grainy malts with a light amount of caramel + grainy sweetness. Light aromas of lager yeast. Light to moderate aromas of grassy + herbal + floral hops.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of bready + lightly toasted + grainy malts with a light amount of caramel + grainy sweetness. That is followed by light flavors of lager yeast. Finally there are light to moderate flavors of grassy + herbal + floral hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which slowly fades away leaving light bready malts + lager yeast flavors lingering.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly crisp initially with a relatively clean finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasant mouthfeel. Slightly more heavily hopped than other examples of the style but still using traditional a traditional hop profile. I could easily have a couple of these.

Coarse, barfy and too hopped for a festbier. Get a clue, this sucks.
