Brewery draught, 11/9/24. Dark yellow-golden. Clear. Small, white head, modest retention. Rice sugar and interesting mineral with a hint of sourdough, honey and cracker from the malt. Touch of floral and herbal notes from hop. Very clean with good mineral and yeast. Very malty in the mouth with excellent depth and attenuation. Robust and rich with honey, graham cracker and rice sweetness. But it dries out nicely on the finish with mineral, yeast and mild hop. Maybe not quite to style, given its big maltiness, but I'm not complaining.
