To the eye: Clear, crisp, bright crimson coloring, moderately sized cap of whitish froth atop.
In the nose: Medium hop bitterness, some fruity esters, quite nicely balanced.
In the mouth: Big, beefy, malty. Bold, fruity, dry. Exceptionally clean and full-bodied. Hop bitterness is coming on strong now. Okay, I'm getting it. Marzen-Style malts, big ol' hoppitude. It's a drinkable beer that's just about to bust it's britches. I was confused, but now I like it.
Here's another Modist beer that doesn't fit any category. An ale Oktoberfest. This "German IPA" they're calling it doesn't work, sorry.
What do they say about it? Our answer to an Octoberfest beer. It's a crispy malty German festbier meets an aggressively hopped American IPA. We use a German water profile, malt, hops, and yeast, then use hopping rates and techniques similar to an American IPA.
Ingredients: Malts: Weyermann Pale, Vienna, Munich I,Carafoam,Caramunich II Melanoidin // Hops: Magnum, Polaris, Mandarina Bavaria // Yeast: German Ale,
