Brink Maiden Voyage

My first beer from local brewery Brink Brewing Company. The color is a light golden hazy. The aromas are light as well with citrus and perhaps pineapple. The beer is more hop forward with a touch of bitters. The flavors are behind those hops and are juicy and light tropical. This is a very nice beer. Perhaps a few years ago I would have said this would be a regular drinker for me. However, with all of the flat out amazing hazy beers I have had recently this one falls below my new standards. Still a very good beer, but it misses that creamy rich mouthfeel and luscious fruit that so many of the top tier brews are creating now. This beer is right on the “brink” of being better than it is. I look forward to tasting other efforts from Brink Brewing.
