On tap at the brewery yesterday. Alan mentioned this is different from the other Little Dog versions, and that it wasn't Little Dog Adam either.

Mildly hazy brown with a dense, white head with excellent retention and mild lacing, this looks good. The nose has plenty of green, earthy, herbal hops, very British in nature, along with a toasty, bready malt character. Just a touch of smoke is present as well. The palate opens with a light toasted malt character with a crisp bitterness. Clear earthy, herbal hop character is present with a good balance between hop flavor and bitterness. There's a toasted wheat bread character to the palate as well. Drying and bitter on the finish, this is great stuff. Light in body, this is refreshing and very enjoyable.

Serving type: on-tap
