Lemon Gem

Completely clear golden coloured body with a very fast-dying off-white and very soapy bubbled head that shows a small single centimetre head with a lot of carbonation visible. Aroma of lemons (of course), citrus, grass, hay, strong floral notes with a crispness and a touch of alcohol noticeable with some discernable lemongrass here as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong and slightly tart citrus and lemony flavours persist with a dry and soft yeast note with a little grassy and especially perfumey and floral profile that hits nicely and fairly elegantly with an easy-drinking, but flavourful and complex finish. Aftertaste is clean, very crisp, while having a lot of robust ntoes wtih the flowers, lemon, grass and especially perfumey notes all showing through, without a lot of pungency, richness or bitterness - this goes down pretty easily. Overall, a nice, dry, herbal and flavourful beer that hits nicely and shows a great complexity, especially for the style - this one was great to sample fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Bread & Honey in New York (8th Ave @ 56th St), New York on 22-August-2021 for US$5,59, canned on 04-August-2021 and sampled at my house down in Washington on 22-September-2021.

16 oz. Aroma has notes of tea, lemon, cotton candy, bread. Pours lightly hazy golden with a one finger bone-white head that falls into a ring immediately. Taste is light to moderately tart and a little sweet with faint bitterness, finishing lightly dry. Mouthfeel is a tad watery. Like an Arnold Palmer mixed with a pale ale, as described.

On tap at the brewery. Pours slightly hazed gold. Lemon, tea, biscuit, floral, herbal, clean finish. Medium body. Decent.
