Draught at Firewaters, 8/18/21. Quite hazy, deep maize-to-brass golden with a medium-sized, moderately-well-retained white head. Nose is heavy, heavy papaya, pineapple and bubble gum with some canned peach/mandarin in there, as well. No alcohol or hop twang, but boy is this quite heavy on the intensely fruity/bubble gummy yeast character. In the mouth, it starts out how you'd like, delivering a big wallop of fruity, juicy hop and yeast notes (mandarin, peach, papaya, mango) with a soft, round, sumptuously-malted texture, but unfortunately, it never really goes anywhere approaching balanced. Just hangs on to the bubble gum and sugary papaya/mango, adding little/no bitterness/acidity nor even biscuit/cracker malt character for attempted dryness. Seems a bit underattenuated, as well. Gets cloying/fatiguing quickly, with heavy yeast character leaving undesirable ester character on the finish.
