650ml bottle - apparently this is an exclusive to the brewery store and Liquor Depot outlets, which saddens me. Good thing my conscience is somewhat slippery, and my local LD is actually one of the better ones out there.
This beer pours a mostly clear, medium copper amber colour, with four flabby fingers of puffy, rocky, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves some decent thick campfire smoke lace around the glass as it slowly and evenly subsides.
It smells of dank and musty pine resin, biscuity and grainy caramel malt, some muted domestic citrus rind, ethereal earthy yeast, faint wet stones, and some further plain leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery caramel malt, some berry-forward exotic fruitiness, still extant meaty yeasty notes, and more understated leafy, piney, and musky floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly tame in its basic bitch frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any concern for my palate here. It finishes off-dry, but still nice and hoppy, which always plays well in these quarters.
Overall - this is a dutiful and more or less accurate attempt at this popular sub-style, with the green hops more flavourful than acrid, and the malt keeping the whole shebang squarely between the ditches, as it were. Worthy of seeking out, even if you have to darken the door of the 'local' chain liquor store hegemony.
