650ml bottle - a 'Pink Guava India Session Ale', made in collaboration with the Pink Boots Society.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some pleasant cob-webbed lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of juicy tropical fruit (could be guava, I suppose), lemon pepper, grainy and crackery cereal malt, and some plain earthy, musty, and estery floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a still muddled exotic fruitiness, ground white pepper spice, subtle yeasty notes, and more well understated leafy, weedy, and musky floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly restrained in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a weak medium weight, and kind of thin, with that weird acridity (spice? hop?) making a large dent in the smoothy-smooth factor here. It finishes trending dry, the malt bottoming out, while that mouthfeel interloper carries on carrryin' on.
Overall - this one starts off promisingly enough, with the nice guava character, but heads south quickly, as duly elucidated. Yeah, I'm not really digging it at all - just too banal and borderline off-putting at times. Better luck next time, ladies.
