330ml bottle, day 19 of 'The Great White Wonder Adventure Pack', a collaboration between Central City and Parallel 49 to provide a Beer Advent (I can say that, even if they can't) holiday experience. Golden Promise barley and Calypso hops.
This beer pours a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with one finger of weakly puffy, chunky, and fizzy dirty white head, which leaves a bit of broken atoll pattern lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, faint tropical fruit esters, and some prominent earthy, floral, and soapy hop bitters. The taste is grainy and biscuity pale malt, a mild earthy yeastiness, still hard to identify exotic fruity notes, and more fading leafy, weedy, and soapy floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight (surprisingly), and more or less smooth, nothing in particular getting in the way of the simple ideal here. It finishes trending dry, the malt bottoming out, and the floral hops keepin' the still under-attended party going.
Overall - well, this is better than I was anticipating, but I'm kind of nonplussed all the same. It's not all that thin, yet the choice of hop here doesn't really resonate with my tastebuds. Anyway, at 2.5% ABV, I'm not drinking this again - novelty only strikes once in the same place, sort of like the lightning myth.
