341ml bottle, part of this year's (Vol. 4) Brews Brothers mixed 12 pack, the theme being 'New Wave'. A collaboration with Riot Brewing from the town of Chemainus on the big island. The style is a blonde sour, made with pear, which is a suitable match to the titular song by Blondie.
This beer pours a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, weakly foamy, and mostly just fizzy dirty white head, which leaves absolutely nothing in the way of lace anywhere near the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a bit of lactic sourness, mildly funky yeast, some musty apple and pear fruitiness, and ethereal earthy, weedy, and floral hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery pale malt, bland Belgian yeast, slightly tart generic pome fruity notes, a fading milky sourness, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and floral noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly laid-back in its innocuous frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and sort of smooth, as the tartness burbling just under the surface makes for an antsy palatal experience here. It finishes off-dry, the fruity essences giving it one last kick at the cat.
Overall - yeah, there's nothing particularly wrong with this offering, but I got bored way too early, so much so that instead of 'One Way or Another' being my earworm, I was reminded of Axl blurting out 'and I'm bored' from It's So Easy. Not New-Wave, obviously, but whaddya gonna do?
