Draught at 3 Tides, various vintages
Of their small beers (this, Little Mayhem, Pinchy), this is very much my favorite. Probably wouldn’t even guess it to be a small beer blind, as it’s free from most of the problematic characteristics that many small beers have: astringent, tannic malt flavors, prone to heavy wateriness, thin or washed out texture, diacetyl, etc...
This guy drinks just like a lovely APA with soft, floral hop notes intertwined about very light caramel notes and only a moderate fruitiness.
Nothing tannic or astringent in the flavor, just soft malts that seem to dissolve in to a bouquet of hops and a clean, watery (to-style), drinkable finish. The texture never gets harsh or scratchy, nor are the hops overdone in bitterness. Some sticky sweetness actually persists, since T2R9 is such a malt monster. But it works very well here and helps balance the robust hoppiness.

on tap-pours a white ring for a head and hazy straw color. Aroma is sweet grain, mildly spice hops. Taste is sweet grain, mildly spice hops. Semi-dry finish.
