Brewery draught, 9/11/24. Gently unfiltered brassy-bronze. Small, white head. Quite a big burst of herbaceous hops. Freshly cut grass, spicy, freshly picked herbs and a more dry, baked breadiness to balance lightly. A round fruitiness and playful honey. Light, clean. Sweet malt up front with some odd but not unpleasant phenol, perhaps? Earthy mineral and a bordering clove-like character. To style it's probably not great, but it tastes great. Bitter and drying, it balances the soft, gentle maltiness nicely. With warming, its effect is lessened and I wonder if it's just a strong expression of whatever yeast they used. Whatever the case, I love it. Again, gentle but expressive hopping, deep malts, good attenuation. Interesting iced tea character from the hop. What a shocker of a brewery trip. Was not expecting excellent lagers here!
