Roll Out
The Eighth State Brewing Company

 

A: Pours a crystal clear medium golden honey in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate medium golden yellow + bright yellow + copper colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall sudsy fizzy foamy white head that quickly reduces to a handful of small patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Minimal amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of herbal + earthy + floral hops over the top of moderate aromas of bready + grainy malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. Moderate aromas of lager yeast.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of bready + grainy malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by moderate flavors of lager yeast. Finally there are slightly stronger than moderate flavors of herbal + earthy + floral which impart a light to moderate amount of bitterness which slowly fades away leaving a relatively clean finish.

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

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly refreshing crisp + clean mouthfeel. Enjoyable though definitely more heavily hopped than expected for the style.
