After the white-hot success of Carte Blanche , our apprentices were thrust into the blinding light of stardom , with thongs of adoring fans gathering in the hopes of catching a glimpse. Recognizing the early signs of 'swollen ego-itus' I shipped them off to the farm with instructions to get themselves grounded with their feet firmly rooted in the dirt. Like Odysseus to Ithaca , they have dutifully returned , humbled but carrying a new beer - the second installment of our Young Lions Series: Terra Firma

650ml bottle - so, an offering concocted by the brewing apprentices at Hoyne?
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some random, thickly splattered lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of slightly phenolic yeast, gritty and grainy wheat malt, further cereal notes, muddled earthy pepper spice, a hint of banana chips, and some very plain leafy, weedy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy pale malt, wet wheat crackers, an estery yeastiness, musty domestic orange peel, some middling coriander and black pepper spiciness, and more understated earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its palate-prodding frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, and sort of smooth, as that yeasty factor takes a minor chunk off of the top of the proceedings here. It finishes trending dry, the crackery malt, yeast, and spices veering slowly in that direction.
Overall - this is a rather astringent-seeming version of the style, with the yeasty character having just way too much sway. Maybe it's time to send those apprentices back to something other than the farm to check out the soil, eh?
