Rich, very clear copper coloured body with a rather large four to five centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of yeast, coriander seed, bread, a light bit of sugars and fruits and a touch more grain. Medium-bodied; Assertive bready and yeast flavours throughout with an almost assertive effervescence throughout, showing more carbonation and yeast qualities than anything else with some dry body, a bit of herbs and some smooth sugars near the finish. Aftertaste shows the yeast, a bit of the fruit, some moderate dryness and a dose of biscuity malt with coriander seed freshness at the tail end. Overall, a nice, effervescent beer with a decidedly yeast-first profile that shows dryness, a little bit of sweetness and some fruit, but more of a 'safe' characteristic throughout. Nice to sample and makes me miss the days where finding this style were much easier. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Shopper's Food Warehouse in Alexandria, Virginia on 21-June-2017 for US$1,25 sampled at home in Washington on 12-September-2017.
