Draught at Armsby, 4/12/25.
Clear blonde-brass. Small-to-medium-sized, white head.
Quite floral, a bit of grass, maybe a touch of soap initially. Dry pine and grapefruit rind with some sourdough, white bread and biscuit from the malt.
Despite the initially slightly off-putting soap/grass/perfume character in the nose, with warming/breathing, the hops do soften somewhat, or probably more accurately, the malt character comes forth more, helping to balance. The bitterness is lower, still ample, but there's no resin or hard grapefruit rind. Good maltiness, good attenuation, clean. Gets fruitier with better pine character. Still not my favorite style, but there's no toast/caramel/other crystal malt or resin here, so I think they've done a good job.
