NOTES:
Big (almost 2 fingers) frothy head which hangs around loosely rocky for a moderate stay. Palest of khaki complexion. Laces the glass quite nicely. Beer itself is golden crisp clear with a quite slight amount of carbonation. Appears a bit creamy. Malt-forward sweetness on the nose. Caramel, maybe toffee, a tick bready white toast. Herbaceous underpinnings. Clean.
Curiously boozy undertones for 5.1% adhere to the finish. Over that fleeting bit is/are roasty-toasty malts & a thin but definite cornbread vibe. Hops a bit more than barely come through the thickness but do impart a lemony sweet floral lilt. There also is a slight tick of a white pepper hardwood present immediately after gulp. The rest of finish is cereal grain sweet with a nice brightness which mixes oddly with a nigh cloying experience. (Crispness on onset flattens some.)
One man's mellow is another man's bland. My favorite cookies are the ones that come in the tin sewing kit cans. Really. #TeamBland. From the view of my own reality tunnel, I like this beer a lot. It could use more carbonation to lend focus to the somewhat flat body -- I will say that -- shit, I'll even type it. A good-to-fine everyday fridge stuffer of a brew. My fridge, to be exact.
