341ml bottle, part of this year's (Vol. 4) Brews Brothers mixed 12 pack, the theme being 'New Wave'. A collaboration with Postmark Brewing, another fellow Vancouver operation. For the name, I can't tell if they are referencing Nick Lowe (who wrote the song), or Elvis Costello, who made it famous.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and yet fizzy bone-white head, which leaves a bit of spattered and streaky lace around the glass as it quickly sinks out of sight.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some muddled pome fruitiness, a hint of gasohol, some ethereal yeastiness, and leafy, grassy, and straw-like noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy pale malt, damp white saltine crackers, understated mixed apple, orange, and lemon fruity esters, faint petrol notes, and more herbal, floral, and wet grassy green hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with just a bit of hop astringency tangling with a burgeoning airy creaminess. It finishes off-dry, the malt holding fast, while the grassy and frooty hops keep picking away.
Overall - this comes across as a very ably-rendered version of the style, definitely keeping it old-school, and north of the Sudetenland (speaking of antiquity). Anyways, easy to drink, and duly balanced, I could surely handle a sixer of this during a BBQ on a warm summer day.
