A: Pours a golden/orange color. A touch of chill haze, but that clears up a this warms. White foam rises to about a finger and recedes to leave lace behind.
S: Balance is the name of the game. Lightly toasted and bready malts. Herbal and spicy hops intermingle. Simple and spot on.
T: I love the nuanced malt character, with light honey, baked bread and lightly toasted. There is a spicy, floral, slightly bitter hop finish. Which, again, is really well balanced.
M/O: A medium to full body. Crisp carbonation at first, but becomes ultra smooth, semi dry, with just the right amount of hefty chewiness from the malts. This is also very clean. The ABV is pushing the limits of the style, but still very easy to drink and come back to. Too easy for the strength.
I think this is a spot on American version of the style. A style, that I don't see many local brewers making. Its very well done all around, and I will be coming back to this when I see it.
