250ml glass at Biera, adjacent to the normal brewery. Just guessing at the style here, as usual.

This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber colour, with one rather zaftig finger of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent layered streaky cirrus cloud pattern lace around the glass as it evenly recedes.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, orange and red grapefruit citrus rind, some hard water flintiness, and more leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and gritty cereal malt, muddled domestic citrus peel, some damp minerality, and more earthy, musty, and piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really causing any sort of interfering concern at this particular point in the process. It finishes off-dry, the malt and lingering hops in a sexy pas de deux.

Overall - I have to admit that they have really nailed an actual established 'style' with this one. Perfectly balanced between a solid malt backbone, and sturdy Yankee hops (even if they are of the ever-evolving hipster version, I am really digging this) - it reminds me of Yukon Brewing's red ale. Gee, I wonder why?
