341ml bottle, part of this year's (Vol. 4) Brews Brothers mixed 12 pack, the theme being 'New Wave'. A collaboration with Faculty Brewing Co (yet another Van City brewery), with Thomas Dolby providing the titular tune here.
This beer pours a hazy, dark amber-highlighted brown colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky tan head, which leaves some random sudsy city-building profile lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, muddled citrusy esters, some free-range ashiness, faint bittersweet cocoa powder, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, a lesser roasted caramel sweetness, still hard to delineate domestic citrus notes, chalky chocolate wafers, and more edgy leafy, earthy, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite restrained in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body an adequate medium weight, and generally smooth, with a nice detente achieved here in terms of mouthfeel. It finishes trending dry, the char, hops, and subtle booze making the most of the lingering day.
Overall - while I can certainly attest to this being a well-made version of this 'sub-style', that doesn't mean that I really have to like it, as such. Yeah, I'm tired of apologizing for something that shouldn't fucking exist in the first place, especially as my initial introduction to a new brewery.
