341ml bottle, part of this year's (Vol. 4) Brews Brothers mixed 12 pack, the theme being 'New Wave'. A collaboration with Kamloops' Red Collar Brewing, a further afield BC operation. The Vapors provide the titular tune, one which I only recently became familiar with.
This beer pours a hazy, pale golden straw colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent awkwardly webbed lace around the glass as it lazily blows off.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a lesser crackery wheatiness, mixed exotic and domestic citrus fruity notes, a hint of generic earthy spiciness, and some plain leafy, weedy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is grainy and doughy pale malt, a genial earthy yeastiness, weird citrusy notes, mildly phenolic spice, and some wan musty, leafy, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-grabbing and lifting frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really cause for concern at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt, spice, and fruity notes doing well to make a day of it all.
Overall - I still have no idea nor inclination to find out what 'Turning Japanese' means (I actually just found out today that 'to japan' is actually a thing. Look it up - it's so, so boring! Anyways, this witbier is pretty well rendered, but it's not about to convert me to a, um, a 'convert' of the style, FWIW.
