Draught at the brewery, 3/10/17.
Dark golden-amber with a good clarity and an off-white head atop that is medium-sized and shows moderate retention.
Another weird one to see from Gritty’s, though I guess they have done light lagers in the past. Smells like fresh, fruity, citric PNW hops and a light base of caramel-tinged honey-like malts. Clean and though slightly aggressive, no alcohol or heavy resin breaks through.
In the mouth it’s got a rather rich, malty body though attenuation is still pretty high. Engaging carbonation and lots of pineapple, ruby red grapefruit and lemon. Clean and fruity with no alcohol or flaw. Straightforward and well-made. Quite assertively bitter and malty for Gritty’s usually lighter, toned-down style.
