500ml can (?) - a collaboration with Hong Kong Beer Co in celebration of the Year of the Pig. Made with tangerine and ginger.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, loosely foamy, and rather bubbly off-white head, which leaves some streaky cloud form lace around the glass as it lazily sinks away.
It smells of spicy ginger root, gritty and grainy cereal malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, faint clove notes, and very tame earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, subtle ginger spice, a still mixed and matched plain citrus fruitiness, estery yeast, some damp minerality, and more understated leafy, herbal, and dead grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with perhaps a touch of spice making things fall short of the ideal here. It finishes trending dry, the ginger and citric essences fading into that good night.
Overall - this comes across as what was intended, I presume, a flavoured Hefe, a tad zesty, and easy enough to throw back. Lots of Cantonese script on the label, and I kinda wanna know what it's trying to say.
