Matilda

This beer pours golden copper, it is hazy with an off white head that's fluffy in texture and thick.  Visually, medium sized bubbles rise to the surface at an average speed.  The aroma has toasty, light caramel, and fresh baked bread  malt qualities with very low pine/citrus hops.  There's also some medium-low grainy malts as it warms with a very low tartness.  The esters are represented as spicy, and red apple like.  The flavor is of a medium-high toast with some caramel sweetness.  There's also a low amount of citrus/piney hops with a short bitterness.  This beer finishes semi-dry, with a short aftertaste resembling bread crumbs.  No big Brettanomyces flavors to further dry this beer out.  It could easily be consumed without picking up the Brett character.  This medium-light bodied beer has the proper carbonation level, and although there's a slight alcoholic warmth the creaminess rounds it out.  The astringency is low and quite possibly from the Brett notes that are pleasant.  This is a well balanced beer toward the malty side, without too much hop or Brett character.  Drinks more like an American Amber than an American Pale Ale.  The Brett dries this beer out but not too much that you'd notice if it wasn't mentioned.
