A grisette.
Light golden ale, lots of streaming carbonation, little head surviving. Initial aroma of fruity yeast, light oak, little perceptible hop aroma. Tastes much the same. Forward fruitiness, oak after taste(some vanilla/toastiness), more perceptible hop, light astringency, very dry. The dryness is not surprising, as this beer ended up at 1.001, only .001 point above the specific gravity of water. Actually pretty good flavor while still staying very light. I am sure this will be majorly refreshing on a hot summer day, especially after a bike ride or climbing session.
I guess I have pretty much accomplished what I wanted to do with this one. In the future, I would avoid using oak chips and stick with oak cubes. I feel the chips do impart flavor too quickly and it is a bit one dimensional..
