330ml bottle poured into tulip.

Pours a clear pale yellow with half a finger of loose white head that quickly dissipates without leaving much lace, just a few scattered blobs.

Smells of crushed crackers, sarsaparilla herbs and some mild leafy hops.

Tastes of unsugared breakfast cereal, bready pale malt, mild corny sweetness, more mixed herbs and tame weedy hops.

Feels light and crisp. Light bodied with fizzy carbonation. Finishes off-dry.

Verdict: Recommended. Not spectacular but you could sure do worse.

330ml bottle - mio dios, I'm getting so fucking tired of being the first one to review this on here, and RB, and thus having to refer to Untappd (hah) for comparative info, after the fact. Mierda!

This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with three fat-cat fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some pockmarked limestone cliff lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.

It smells of bready and crackery pale malt, some musty and earthy yeastiness, a weird herbal woody character, and very tame leafy, weedy, and dead floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, corn pone, some further odd herbal and woodsy astringency, pithy yeast, buttered white bread, and more understated earthy, musty, and dank floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its barely-there frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and sort of smooth, I suppose, as the guest ingredients don't seem to have a problem at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the purported Tequila notes still trying to get the hell off the ground.

Overall, this is the veritable yin to the proverbial yang that was the Juniper Kolsch for me, yesterday, in that Whistler has a habit of either just dialing it in, or actually surprising me. I'll leave it to the rest of you to figure out which is which, yeah?
