The brew is a
hazy dull bronze, atop a wee bit of sediment and capped with a bountiful
off-white foam. Mayday has crisp, slightly tart aromatics, with ample
yeast notes and a whiff of baking apple. The flavour displays lots of
Belgian-style yeast-funk, with some witbier elements (banana and
coriander). The back end has some bitterness, but there certainly isn’t
anything approaching APA IBUs.
I thought this
was a well-executed brew—it’s got decent strength and unconventionally
conventional flavour notes. It’s a touch yeasty, but honestly, that’s
more my beef with the style than a flaw in the beer. All told, this is a
fine ale worth tracking down.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
