500ml can - so, another offering made at De Proef in Belgium, but with an American hop varietal.
This beer pours a murky, medium golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and fizzy off-white head, which leaves a bit of streaky and sudsy lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.
It smells of blood orange, white grapefruit, and lemon citrus rind, gritty and crackery pale malt, some musty yeastiness, and laid-back earthy, weedy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready cereal malt, some mixed domestic citrus peel, further muddled tropical fruity notes, faded estery yeast, and more leafy, herbal, and floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly tame in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a suggestion of hop acridity making a minor fuss at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the green hoppy character exhibiting some lingering sassiness.
Overall - this is a pretty decent version of the style, not too bitter, and with a uncharacteristically low-key yeast factor for this brewery. At any rate, it's good, and there's no sign of the near extra 2 points of ABV. Now if the importer would only procure the American-produced sibling, this whole thing might make a lot more sense, eh?
