Bogart sure learned how to whistle quick after Bacall told him “If you want me, just whistle. You know how to whistle, don’t you? You just put your lips together and blow.”* That was no whistle stop fling but the beginning of a May September romance that lasted until death did them part. How about this Railway City Whistle Stop, is it a casual fling or the real thing?
Here at COMDB I’ve been working on a Railway** just to pass the time away. Now I can see a Whistle pouring. And it’s golden, hazy, headish pour, pretty as a picture.
A very juicy aroma, a fruit punch to the nose. The taste starts out very fizzy with light fruit and a malt backbone with a slight bitter finish, interesting. This brew will require a more in-depth analysis. The fizz settles and fruit stays, the malt minimizes and some itty-bitty bitters are still in play. A nice soft mouthfeel. Coincidentally, this beer and I are both amenable to big swigs. The fruit takes over but it’s a natural rather than puree presentation. It’s not balanced in that the tropical fruit is the dominant flavour but it is balanced in that everything is in the right proportion. Is this an example beer reviewer cognitive dissonance? ***
Whatever it is, what I’m thinking is that I’m drinking is a very good pale ale. Tasting has confirmed, it is the real thing.
