Draught at Lord Hobo, Deep Ellum and Publick House, February and March 2014
Mountainous white head tops a very pale, straw yellow beer with plentiful carbonation and high clarity. Retention is very high. Immaculate presentation.
Soft fruitiness in the nose slowly lets some light hop bitterness out as the very well-attenuated pale malts give a lightly sweet balance. Pineapple and mango are mixed with grapefruit and lychee while there is no alcohol or pine resin-like burn. Very clean and crisp.
Soft texture thanks to the oat, with even a bit of chewiness to it. Wonderfully dry with only an afterthought of white bread and lightly sweet vanilla notes. Peach, mango, orange rind and plentiful lemon notes linger on the finish. Very flavorful, but at the same time mild and extremely sessionable. It’s a toss-up between this and fort point between my favorite. Both are exquisite beers and I think the lower alcohol and increased drinkability give this one the slight edge in my book, but they are both good in their own right.

Pours hazy yellow into a snifter. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Citrus, tropical fruit and yeast aromas. Dry with astringent rye and tropical fruit upfront smoothing to mild oat before an eathy bitterness in the lasting finish.
