Growler from brewpub. Pours a pale golden color, medium white head, completely transparent. Aroma is very yeasty, lots of fruity, estery notes in there. Flavor features a subdued malt sweetness, bursting with yeasty fruity notes. Hop bitterness registers but just barely, this one’s all about the yeast. Light body, well carbonated, very drinkable. I wondered whether "3 of a kind" referred to malt or hops, but I guess it’s both and yeast as well.

tap at brewery-pours golden yellow with a small fizzy white head. grasy, mild hops light citrus-lemon notes in the aroma. grainy, slightly sour twangy notes in the yeast character with some slightly hoppy notes as well, mostly in the finish. body is medium with moderate carbonation, which distributes the flavors well here.

Clear golden-yellow body with a nice, slowly-fading, foamy white head. Aroma is of moderate orange esters, perfumy hops, and a mild, phenolic husky note. Flavor has a peppery quality, is fairly dry, and has modest tartness.
