Clear, bright golden color, dollop of ivory froth atop.
In the nose: Light citrus tones, with a touch of the tropical. Orange, mango, guava, but playing it cool and low, here. Slightly sweet, and barely bitter.
In the mouth: Fresh, zesty, delicious. Nice blast of hop bitterness to start it off, then cool and mellow. Light-bodied, lean, clean, just hoppy enough. Good drinkability. Yum, -a-dum, dum. And I mean it when I say that. Not bad at all.
A healthy dose of 2-row malted barley, a bit of wheaty-esque-ish-ness and loads of Ekuanot hops to create a super smooth and velvety ale with a fruit and resin-y- finish like biting into a freshly pickled peach. Easy!
That's their easy version. It doesn't sound like them. This does: Dip beneath the flotsam of categories. Past nouns. Beyond exclamations! Down to the autological: words possessing the very property they express. Short is short. Sesquipedalian is long. Sumpin' has that thing on the tip of the tongue, and Easy just rolls off as easy as Sunday morning. Sumpin' Easy is everything we've learned about making hop-forward beer expressed in a moderate voice. Pale, cold, slightly alcoholic, and bitter. It's all we know.
