Near Perfection!

This year's Gator Steam has arrived and it is just terrific. The beer is crystal clear, tawny lion's-mane amber with a full dense head that is somewhat creamy on the lips and subsides into good lacing. A moderately minty nose of Northern Brewer hops swells over that first gulp. The mouthfeel is perfectly balanced between the clean, classic Steam-beer brightness and a softer, smoother roundness from the addition of Carapils and fairly large amounts of crystal. The taste is just a fine mouthwatering balance of malt and hops, and the finish is smooth, clean, and leaves you begging for another gulp.
