650ml bottle. At least they claim this is made with 'real' hazelnuts.
This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, somewhat caked dirty white head, which leaves some streaky webbed lace around the glass as events hastily devolve southwards.
It smells of gritty, oily mixed nuts, with a mild roasted hazelnut nod to the marketing department, bready semi-sweet caramel malt, and herbal, weedy hops. Huh. Anyway, the taste is bland discount store, stale shelf nuts, a softly roasted, and slightly charred grainy, bready malt, a weird tint of sour edgy yeast, and leafy, weedy, and mildly overripe citrus hops.
The bubbles are pretty understated, and generally supportive, as if by contract, the body on the wan side of medium weight, and so-so in its otherwise unassailed smoothness. It finishes off-dry, the muddled nuttiness and lazy malt kind of stumbling into the indistinct sunset together.
Well, at least the hazelnut of title import here is just weakly rendered, as opposed to totally fucked up, which, you gotta cede, is always a possibility with these guys. Other than that, there's not much more to talk about here - just a plain amber ale, neither here nor there, though a certain weird sourness does build as it warms. Ok, it is exactly as expected for this 'brewery', it being Minhas and all.
