Draught at Tortas Frontera, 7/31/18.
Soft, lightly-to-moderately hazy, rosy-peach with dull brass. Small, white head atop shows moderate-to-low retention.
Lightly sweet (honey, cookie, spongecake) and malty in the nose with no real corn character but a bit of cereal-biscuit. Traditional white ale notes are pretty limited with no big bubblegum (fine with me) nor any clove or coriander. Even the citrus is limited to just a pinch of light tangerine. No alcohol or flaw. Mostly just malt in the nose, quite simple and not overly aromatic.
In the mouth it's soft, with fuzzy, light carbonation and lots of white bread, table sugar and light honey-like malt notes. Sweet and rather inoffensive, if very simple. Light bitterness throughout with a hint of herbs and some drying on the finish. Not much of a corn character, unfortunately, as that would have been pretty interesting.
