Ninkasi – Spring Reign

This one has a mellow hoppy, citrus aroma.  It is lightly malty with a medium hoppiness at first sip.  This is followed up by some tartness and bitterness that remains in your mouth for a while.  The name made me think that it was going to be somewhat light, maybe a thirst quencher, but this one is a full-bodied beer.  Don’t attempt this one as a session beer, it’s better taken in single dosages.
