Phillips Brewing 'Brut Force' @ 7.0% , served from a 473 ml can
A-pour is such a light gold it's almost white wine looking to clear gold in the glass with a small off-white head leaving a minimal lace ring along the tulip
S-champagne yeast
T-dry tasting IPA
MF-mild carbonation , feels full bodied
Ov-not another IPA style for me

473ml can - made with Champagne yeast and 'northwest hops'. There are a number of other brews with the same name, made in America - I'm surprised unnecessary litigation hasn't already reared its ugly kisser.

This beer pours a mostly clear, pale golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, rocky, and faintly fizzy dirty white head, which leaves some random streaky and sudsy lace around the glass as it slowly seeps away.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, a stoney flintiness, and some leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and doughy pale malt, orange and red grapefruit pith, a further indistinct tropical fruitiness, some damp minerality, and more leafy, herbal, and resinous piney hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its palate-coddling frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt actually holding its lingering ground.

Overall - yeah, this is not nearly as dry (sometime mouth-witheringly so) as some of the other examples of the style that I have come across. The Champagne yeast does make things interesting, however, lending additional frooty notes to the proceedings. Full of flavour, just not as Brut as it wants to be.
