3 nips for Mountain Goat - Organic Steam Ale 👅👅👅 Aroma Clean malt aroma that are complimented by a very mild hop chosen for this beer, this is definitely leaning towards a more malty profile. It is super cold tonight so I am not getting much on the hop aroma, there is some faint citrus and a tiny hint of resinous pine as the beer warms up. No other esters or aromatics detected. Appearance Light golden/straw in colour with a faint haze, a very appealing colour. There was little to no head on the pour and there was no head retention. Flavour A seriously malt forward punch in flavour with a very nice dry finish, something very unexpected. I could see this be an easy drinking, sessionable beer on a hot summers' day. There is not much in hop flavour but there is a very delicate bitterness hint that balances out the beer's after taste. Mouthfeel Moderate-high carbonation that gives a little bite, this dissipates quickly as the beer warms on your tongue. There is no alcohol warmth detected nor any astringency making it easy to drink. The mouth feeling is full and in no way thin, despite having a dry finish. Overall A nice beer to drink that i will definitely be trying again in summer months, it could have some more hop flavour punch through to balance out the malt. Reminiscent of an Australian Sparkling Ale but far less hopped and far dryer in finish. 3.6 Nips
