Bright Sea Blonde
(has 5 batches)

Aroma is fruity and phenolic with a light acidity and funk. Low background malt character present as well. Fruit is pineapple, citrus and pear. Phenolics are a light peppercorn, coriander and some floral spice. Faint lactic acidity and light barnyard funk. Pours a cloudy yellow gold with a fairly thin white head that quickly recedes to the edges. No lacing and small legs. Flavor is similar to aroma but with a much higher tartness than the aroma suggests. Fairly fruity like the aroma but with more pineapple and citrus and less pear notes. The phenolics are there with a lot more floral notes, but the acidity does not allow them to assert themselves as much as in the aroma. Medium low vinous, white wine note mid palate and moderate bitterness. Finishes very dry. Only faint malt notes in the beginning. Mouth feel is medium bodied with medium to medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Nice crisp refreshing beer. Overall another winner from Sante Adairius; I must really sound like a homer by now. Clean acidity, nice bright fruit notes and balanced spice aged nicely in a wine barrel - hard to go wrong with that combo.
