Appearance: Big, fat, soapy bubbles cover a reservoir of
dirty copper. The head is substantial
and apparently has the idea of being the last one to leave the party (3.75/5).
Aroma: Very yeasty with a citrus chaser. I get the characteristic apple aroma as well,
but I really have to hunt for it (3.75/5).
Taste: I immediately see the pilsner malt base,
which is quickly complimented with pineapple and papaya. This is followed by a citrusy, American hop
bite that rides the line between subtle and noisy. Nothing lingers. It’s very dry and super-easy to drink (4.5/5).
Mouthfeel: Light body, medium carbonation. A touch of astringency in the finish (4.25/5).
Overall: This is the
perfect example of a beer that is designed to be restrained, yet remains
interesting. None of the flavors jump
out and hit you over the head, but there is enough going on in there that you
are highly motivated to finish the pint.
I really enjoyed this beer and have ranked it among my favorites for the
style (4.25/5).
