330ml bottle, day 14 of the 2014 Craft Beer Advent calendar - ok, go-round two with this brewer in these parts.
This beer pours a clear, rather dark red brick amber hue, with one fat finger of weakly foamy, and mostly bubbly tan head, which leaves a bit of sparse neural network lace around the glass as it quickly settles.
It smells of grainy, slightly bready pale malt, a touch of biscuity caramel, sodden ash, and musty, earthy hops. The taste is tame grainy, doughy, and lightly caramelized malt, light and indistinct apple, pear, and neutered cherry orchard fruit, that same weird ashiness from the nose, and more musty, dead leafy, and generally uninspiring as hell hops.
The bubbles are fairly average in their plainly supportive frothy measures, the body medium-light in weight, and kind of thin and tacky, which goes nowhere fast when we start our eventually aborted smoothness considerations. It finishes mostly dry, with a crackery pale maltiness, and that strange earthy mustiness showing some unwelcome staying power.
I don't know what it is with this brewer - a couple years ago, their two brews available in Alberta expired prematurely - and now this, which is a slight improvement, as it doesn't seem off, but just plain and a bit too musty. At least the 14-proof booze is well and integrated, as I don't recall having mentioned it at all.
