16oz glass at the brewery's newish taproom (in that they now serve pints, along with a small pub food menu). Or maybe I've not lived downtown for too long now.
This beer appears a very murky, dark orange-brick amber colour, with a thin cap of wispy off-white head, which leaves some chunky, um, lace around the glass (it looks more like fruit pith) as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of fresh, fruity mango, orange juice, grainy pale malt, an ethereal breadiness, and plain leafy, earthy, and musty hops. The taste is mango, white grapefruit, and blood orange fruit, grainy and lightly biscuity pale malt, a weak gritty flintiness, and more mostly obscured weedy, musty hop bitters.
The carbonation is quite low on the dear ol' froth-o-meter readings, the body a solid middleweight, what with all that fruit pulp kicking about, and generally smooth. It finishes semi-sweet, the inherent tartness of the guest fruit keeping things from going off the rails.
Overall, a fairly enjoyable and refreshing tipple, the base German lager at least making an effort to poke through the big fruitiness. That's a minor annoyance of mine, given all these seemingly beer-free radlers proliferating right now. Worth giving a shot, if you can find it during our still sanguine summer daze.
