Draught at Hugh O’Neill’s on 5/16/16.
Lightly hazy brassy-gold body is topped by a staunch, medium-sized white head.
Fresh yeast, hay and mineral water notes precede a surprisingly clean, lighthearted galaxy hop profile which maintains mostly tropical fruit and seems to be fairly free of the heavy marajuana-like spiciness or any pine resin. Some earthiness and cereal grain character emerges, with warming.
Tight carbonation and soft, malty texture provide a good vessel as the high attenuation and crisp citrus and mango hop notes keep the beer very drinkable. A fair amount of earthy, rather rustic house yeast character and grainy wheat is strongly apparent and somewhat dulls the brightness of the hops but is still enjoyable in its own right. Lots of fruit lingering with low bitterness and no resin. Delightful.

Can from o hell I can’t remember, somewhere in Mass. Hazy deep yellow color with a smallish but patient bubbly white head. Light lemony tart with a bit of faint bread and light spice on the nose. Lightly tart bready cereal maltiness with a salty undertone. Light lemon and spice. this is far from my favorite style, but I quite enjoyed the subtle complexities in this beer.

Pours pale yellow into a shaker. Bright white soapy head with good retention recedes leaving sheet lacing. Pineapple and mango aromas. Soft with deep, dark grapefruit pith and peels. Very in your face given the low abv. This one grew on me.

750mL bottle shared by blisscent on 3/18/16.
Pours a very hazy dull brass with a good amount of white head atop that slowly recedes to cover.
Brett and lactic acid are joined by very soft citrus rind and bright citra hops adding must, tangy lemon juice and various pithy notes. Nothing aggressive here, nor is it heavy in any one category. Soft funk, citrus, light biscuity/nutty malts and a pinch of salinity/seawater character for good measure. No alcohol or flaws.
In the mouth it’s equally reserved on the grapefruit, with light astringency from the actual grapefruit and tons of floral characteristics from the yeast. Hops add light lemon and mild bitterness while there’s tons of wheat chewiness and a lot of dough. The doughiness is a bit problematic, but I’m not sure if that’s just the bottle not being allowed to rest after being transported from purchase, or if the beer comes off that way. Lactic acid sourness on the end is moderate and the carbonation is mostly tight and the body creamy-to-oily with some wateriness contributing to drinkability. Would like to try again.
