355ml can, part of their mixed IPA 8-pack. I continue to be impressed by the gonzo marketing babble on the labels. Keep it up, and is 'Don't Panic' a HHGTG reference? Also, you had me at 'Camino'.
This beer pours a mostly clear, pale golden yellow colour, with four chubby fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky beige head, which leaves some decent flock of seagulls pattern lace around the glass as it slowly, but surely subsides.
It smells of semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, some weird-ass phenolic character, cheap citrus vodka, some hard water flintiness, and plain earthy, musty, and dank piney hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery cereal malt, plain domestic citrus rind, some mild damp minerality, and more well-understated leafy, weedy, and dead floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is pretty subtle in its palate-disappointing frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and smooth, sure, but in a manner that somehow just doesn't seem to matter. It finishes trending dry, the hops kind of limping along, like a horse that needs to be put out to pasture.
Overall - yeah, not really feeling this one, the hop schedule failing to follow through to any appreciable degree. Fine, if you want something inoffensive, or 'light'-tasting, but I wouldn't seek this one out again.
