Yard Beer (Batch 4)
Highland Park Brewery

 

From BeerAdvocate magazine #128 (September 2017):

There's a good amount of sediment, so even a gentle decant yields a pale yellow, cloudy glass of beer with a thin lace. A soft, but distinct, funkiness in the nose mingles with slight medicinal notes, citrus rinds, and hay. The body is very light with a crisp carbonation that’s creamy on the palate. Massive bursts of lime are sharp and puckering with suggestions of brininess. A floral and herbal tea-like bitterness brings another layer with some lemony and earthy qualities, followed by delicious quinine-like flavors. Very dry with a bready linger of malt and earthy tones, Yard Beer Batch 4 is a real treat to experience, and I love how the urban-cultivated ingredients don't get lost.
