L: Slightly cloudy yellow red, with a slight white head. It kinda froze :/
S: Citrus with a very wheaty smell to it.
T: Barley, and slightly bitter has a small malt profile on top of just the barley but mostly just barley.
F: Mostly flat because I aciddently froze it. But it does still have a slight bubbly taste in my mouth.
O: A pretty nice beer, I wish it didn't freeze but I can't take back time ;P

Day 22 of the Phillips Snowcase advent calendar of 2015. 341ml bottle poured into tulip.
Pours a bright, clear golden yellow with a thin ring of off-white head that leaves melting ice sculpture lace as it recedes.
Smells of fresh baked biscuit, lemongrass and some gentle sprucey juniper. Faint alcohol.
Tastes of sweet caramel malt, white grape skin, lemongrass tea and more soft juniper.
Feels fairly peppy and lively. Medium bodied with solid carbonation.
Verdict: Recommended. It would be really good with some appropriate food.

341ml bottle, part of a broken-open 2015 Snowcase pack at my local chain liquor store outlet. Sure looks like (especially the label) a revived one-off that Phillips did for a now-shuttered Asian fusion restaurant in Victoria, 11 years or so ago.
This beer pours a clear, pale golden amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some low-lying, approaching landfall lace around the glass as it lazily recedes.
It smells of bready caramel malt, prominent earthy and yeasty red wine lees, weird English breakfast 'jam', some Thai cooking herbal acerbity (so, lemongrass, I suppose), a faint fruity gin thing (the juniper engaged with the elevated ABV, likely), and a twinge of mushroom-like musty funk. The taste is more bready, doughy, and rather sweet caramel/toffee malt, perky, if sugary coriander spice, muddled pale orchard fruit (maybe some red/white grapes, maybe some apple/pear, who the hell knows), a wee herbal astringency that I'll grudgingly attribute to the unheralded juniper, er, whatever, and a hovering metallic alcohol warmth.
The bubbles are fairly low-key in their underwhelming and innocuous frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, with a nascent airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad. It finishes on the sweet side, with the lingering malt tamping down on spice, herb, and booze alike.
Not sure what this is supposed to be, either as a singular brew, or as a salve for a menu that doesn't exist anymore. I could see this working though, with any manner of currently available and duly spicy Thai, Vietnamese, or Sushi grub, in fact, my palate is now really anticipating the zingy pasta Bolognese simmering upstairs right now - thanks, babe!
