1L crowler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - missed out on this one last week, due to pre-schooler issues, but snagged the last one of these extras today. A SMASH offering, made with Lumberjack hops, a proprietary variant from the BC Hop Company, apparently.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some decent tacky snow rime lace around the glass as it quickly sinks away.
It smells of gritty and crackery pale malt, a further mild cereal graininess, a bit of metallic melon (if that makes any sense), generic semi-sweet citrus rind, faint earthy spices, and some middling leafy, weedy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready pale malt, some indistinct domestic citrus pith fruitiness, faint muddled melon notes, ephemeral bland spices, and more understated herbal, weedy, and musky floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, but for a weird clamminess that doesn't take very long to seep into my better senses. It finishes off-dry, the basic-bitch malt contending with its commensurate lingering hop equivalent.
Overall - this comes across as a typical offering from this gateway-friendly brewery, yet one that does well enough to exhibit the effects of the fresh hop experience, without being as banal or 'watery' as those fucking idiots over on Untappd seem to think. Sheesh - worthy of checking out, if only for those reasons.
