946ml 'stubbie' bottle - the latest in their 'Unique Brew' singular offerings. Still not sure how to classify an 'Aussie Sparkling Ale' on here, but I do my best.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, rocky, and chunky dirty white head, which leaves some decent splotchy old growth forest profile lace around the glass as it slowly recedes.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, estery yeast, a further biscuity cracker character, tame pome fruity notes, and some plain leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is more of the same - bready and crackery pale malt, free-range sugars, muddled domestic citrus and stone fruitiness, wet breakfast biscuits, an ephemeral sense of yeast love unrequited, and more laid-back leafy, floral, and stoned AF herbal verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-taunting frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, with a wee pithiness kind of lying low under the main current, as it were. It finishes off-dry, the biscuity malt and indistinct hops making a day of it all.
Overall - I still don't know what this undefined style really is, but I now suspect it to be a hybrid of sorts, due to the diaspora of a diaspora, if you will indulge me. This (and another I had from Calgary not 3 days ago) brew is made in ode to the English-style pale ales brewed by, well Australians, now produced to cater to their youth who come to western Canada to fulfill our apparently unattractive resort jobs. In the words and manner of one John Oliver - 'cool'.
