341ml bottle, part of this year's (Vol. 4) Brews Brothers mixed 12 pack, the theme being 'New Wave'. A collaboration with Twin Sails from over in Port Moody, and they've come up with a 'hoppy rice lager'. Dead or Alive provides the titular song reference.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat fizzy eggshell white head, which leaves some tiered streaky and sudsy lace around the glass as it quickly sinks away.
It smells of orange, white grapefruit, and lemon citrus rind, gritty and grainy cereal malt, rice crackers, a further subtle tropical fruitiness, and more earthy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy pale malt, rice pudding, muddled exotic fruity notes (almost melon-like), and more leafy, weedy, and floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-embracing frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, as the rice slicks out everything for us here. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt and generic frootiness lingering with the most gusto.
Overall - this is indeed what it claims to be, a nicely hopped-up rice-adjunct brew. It may not exactly spin me round like a record, baby, but that's okay, it's got enough character to get by all on its own, unlike a few of its unfortunate box-mates.
