16oz nonic at THG.
A: Pours a clear straw golden with a very dense couple fingers of off-white head that didn’t budge. Looks like melted vanilla ice cream. Thick rings of lace lasted were left down the glass after each sip. Beautiful and flawless.
S: Bready and crisp malt backbone balanced by sweet tropical hops and peppery earthy yeast.
T: Crackery malt and grassy hops mix with notes of straw, earthy peppery spice and a kiss of slightly sweet melon/sweet tropical fruit. Bread dough, wheat, and raw grains in the finish, spicy hop aftertaste with a subtle leafy bitterness.
M: Smooth medium-light body, fairly crisp mouthfeel, and soft fluffy carbonation with a pleasant tingle to it.
O: Super clean and easy to drink. Perfect balance of malt and hops. Not overly malty, maybe even subdued for the English style. Super solid beer all-around.

Not as hoppy as you would expect from RR, but very good. Nice subtle floral scent.
Clean clear yellow color, smooth finish perfect lighter beer for those hot days.

Tap at Russian River: Clear, with excellent head and lace. Malty, light. Palate is slightly mousey. Bitter for the weight of flavor.
