650ml bottle - a fresh hop India Pale Lager - made with the Cascade, Centennial, and Mt. Hood varietals.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves a bit of splattered and sudsy lace around the glass as it slowly seeps away.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some mixed melon and dark berry fruitiness, further simple syrup notes, and some plain earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, grainy and doughy pale malt, a still mixed bowl of sugary fruit, some tame hard water flintiness, a hint of lager yeast, and more leafy, weedy, and musky floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite active in its pleasantly effervescent frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, with a thin airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the robust saccharine fruitiness the order of the lingering day.
Overall - this is a well-made and enjoyable version of the augmented style, with the combination of fresh hops really bringing their fruity A-game. Somehow crisp, and rather easy to put back, with nary a whisper from the extra point and a half of booze. Good, good stuff.
