375ml can - made with 'a full spectrum of Australian hops'. Spectacular!
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden amber colour, with a teeming tower (what, are these things can-conditioned?) of puffy, rocky, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some splendid sudsy tree copse lace around the glass as it lazily recedes.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, big fleshy grapefruit and blood orange, a hint of wayward son yeastiness, and more piney, herbal, and wet grassy green hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet muted citrus, biscuity and bready caramel malt, a lesser plain graininess, still extant earthy yeast notes, and more leafy, weedy, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is obviously quite overwrought in its swirling and prodding frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, just a wee bit of hop acridity traipsing clumsily through the petunias here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and various citrus/forest floor bitterness lingering well into extra time.
Overall, this is a rather impressively rendered version of the typically anemic style - lots of sexy hops abounding, with a sturdy malt base keeping things within the realm of sanity. Easy to drink, tasty, and worth sessioning, once you get past all that initial foamy nonsense, of course.
