Appearance: hazy bright medium gold with two fingers of loose pale ivory head, good retention and minimal soapy lacing. (4/5) Aroma: juicy citrus, tropical fruit, biscuity malt, light resiny pine, hint of vanilla. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, clean off-dry medium duration slightly chalky finish. (5/5)
I was hoping this would be better than the “base” version, but you know that episode of the Simpsons with the Duff brewery tour, where they have the same pipe split three ways to fill kegs of Duff, Duff Lite, and Duff dry? Yeah, that. Except it doesn’t retain head as well. And a buck more, to boot? Son, I am disappoint. (16/20)
