Four Horsemen Brewing Company EPA

This is a 4.8% ABV English pale ale from the Four Horsemen Brewing Company of South Bend, Indiana. I picked this up in South Bend, just across the street from Notre Dame at Belmont Beverage. The label features the iconic picture of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish's "Four Horsemen" on horses. This was the moniker given to their backfield by a sportswriter in 1924 when Knute Rockne was coach.

The beer pours copper and amber in color. It has a tall head of thick and fizzing off-white foam. The aroma is malty, lightly nutty, grassy, with a yeasty tang. The taste follows the aromas directly. There is an underlying nuttiness, but the tangy yeastiness is the prevailing flavor. It finishes dry, with a moderate carbonation. This is too one-dimensional, too yeasty for the style, and it lacks any depth or complexity.
