Brew Jersey : Sign the Bill Phil
Autodidact Beer

 

Pint pour on draught at the brewery. Served in a Willi Becher glass. It pours a hazy, lemon yellow color with a luxurious, creamy, bright white cap and thick rings of soapy lacing. It's a very attractive pour. Initially, smell offers tart lemon and floral hops. However, as it warms there are notes of rye cracker and just a whiff of coconut. Its taste is dry and crisp. The rye cracker and lemon peel are complimentary. The Sabro hops add a very subtle coconut that provides balance. Still, it's fundamentally a dry, tart, refreshing ale. The mouth feel is lite and crisp with fairly lively carbonation, and it's sessionable at 5.5% ABV. Overall, this ale is nicely crafted and perfect for hot weather. And as a New Jersey craft beer aficionado, I wish Phil Murphy would sign the damn bill!
