650ml bottle - as always, I typically investigate elsewhere when I am the only other soul to review a brew on here, and find it bemusing that this one's actual brewer is shamelessly touting his own wares on Untappd - fuck that - licensed to ill, indeed. Anyways.
This beer pours a crystal clear, pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat fizzy off-white heady, which leaves some random sudsy and splattered lace around the glass as it lazily sinks away.
It smells of bready and biscuity cereal malt, a bit of of Euro gasohol, some earthy yeastiness, a bit of mixed bruised pome fruitiness, and plain weedy, floral, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, petrol, faint citrus and apple fruity notes, and more earthy, musty, and grassy verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its palate-coddling frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing in particular getting in the way of the societal norm here. It finishes trending dry, the grainy malt and old-school hops doing me a more or less solid.
Overall - yeah, I might have been a tad hard on this outfit at the outset (but marketing behavior is separate from product quality, IMHO). This is indeed a serviceable enough version of the muttish style, with the German and Bohemian notes loud and proud, as it were. Yeah, worth sipping on the rest of, while I enjoy another episode of something way more consistent, i.e. the American version of Shameless.
