Wynkoop Light Rail Ale

Brewed by Wynkoop Brewing Company
Style: Bitter
Denver, Colorado USA

On tap at the brewery, golden color, with a thick white head, sweet honeyish oat, grainy toasty malt nose, with a hint of fruitiness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a crisp, light zestiness, toasty malt, bready character, with a grassy flowery, herbal hop citrusy accent, leading towards a mild lime hop bitterness finish.

Draught. Low white and quickly disappearing white fluffy head. Clear golden body. Fruity honey aroma. Heavily carbonated fruity honey flavor with a long sweet aftertaste.

On tap @ Wynkoop poured a clear light amber with a small lingering off white head. Aromas of carmel, bread and light fruitttiness. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, bread and light nuts with a smooth malty finish.

Draft. A pale golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of grass, while the flavor is sweet - somewhat artificially, with primary notes of malt. The body is thin.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a rich golden color with a medium white head. Mild caramel toffee aroma. Flavor has an out of place lemon tartness in an otherwise straw-like mild grainyness. Fairly quick and boring finish.
