Rail Trail Hudson draught, 5/21/26.
Rich woody grape and floral notes. Smells like new German hops (Grungeist, Hull Mellon, H. Blanc). Slight honey, slight white bread from the malt that balances easily.
Sweet malts show lots of white bread. A touch of gooseberry that never really has a chance to get acidic. More like plain old white grape, but not in the good Nelson way. Just sort of sweet and vaguely fruity. Bitterness tries but fails to balance. So much malt. Mushy.

Can at home Sunday evening watching little football. Light copper yellow and smallish head. Nose is honey and bread. Tatses much the same. Little woody and floral to boot. Clean bodied but doesn’t really pop.

Taster flight. Light yellow haze. Still shows a thin ring of white foam. Has more of the hoppy catbox smell. And a bit of lemon as well. Hops in the taste are slightly mellowed vs. the Craft Roots I had in the flight before. Comes out with a bit of cream ale character.

Log Jammin V: pours hazy gold with white head. Hints of lemon and grass. Nice deep pale maltiness, which is well expressed throughout the taste. Solid.
