Brewery draught, 6/20/25.
Clear, bright brass with a hint of rose. Small, white head, moderate retention.
Hint of chalk and mineralesque red wine in the nose, but it's slight, as it should be. Malt and mild hop with a clean, balanced character and good aromatic strength.
Soft and malty with minimal hop, lots of white bread and honey from the malt and a clean finish with a hint of piquancy from the red wine. Just a bit of juice, mineral, chalkiness but the beer remains bright and snappy on the finish, with only minor suggestions of the barrel aging. Pretty fantastic restraint. Would certainly be easy to overdo this light lager.
