Cream Ale
ABV: 4.6%
IBU: 13
RATING
95
Exposed’s aroma is a simple delight: Familiar sweet, grainy scents pair with wafts of berry esters—often a forgotten aspect of the style. Like the aroma, berry esters (accompanied by a light pear note) add elevated accents to the swallow. Swift grainy malts stay a step ahead of the beer’s firm bitterness; mid-sip, the malts evolve with subtle sweetness, playing perfectly with the emerging fruity esters. This beer’s dynamic, incredibly smooth and punctuated by a decisive dry finish.
