Ride The Tiger
New Anthem Beer Project

A: Pours a lightly hazy medium golden honey in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate pale orange + pale burnt orange + medium golden yellow + bright yellow + peach + apricot colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense creamy sudsy foamy white head that slowly reduces to a large patch of medium thick film covering a little more than 55% of the surface of the beer 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. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy citrus/orange + citrus/grapefruit + citrus/orange zest hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + wheat + oat malts with a very light amount of sugary sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + wheat + oat malts with a very light amount of sugary sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy citrus/orange + citrus/grapefruit + citrus/orange zest hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away pretty quickly leaving light to moderate citrus hop flavors lingering.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Light amounts of creamy soft/fluffiness mid-body and a light amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly mouthfeel though not quite as soft/fluffy as others in the style. Enjoyable with lots of citrus hop presence.
