650ml bottle - another blend of witbier and NW IPA, according to the side label marketing blurb.

This beer pours a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some layered archipelago lace around the glass as it gently subsides.

It smells of bready and doughy pale malt, estery and mildly phenolic yeast, coriander and white pepper spice, mild muddled citrus notes, and tame leafy, weedy, and musty floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready pale malt, a lesser caramel sweetness, orange and red grapefruit citrus rind, a well-integrated coriander spiciness, damp banana chips, a thankfully laid-back earthy yeastiness, and more understated leafy, piney, and floral verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite low in its barely-there frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, the yeast settling down, and not causing much in the way of distress here. It finishes off-dry, but not by much, as the mixed hop bitterness and yep, yeast linger on and on and on.

Overall, this is an adequate version of the hybrid style, with the spice, yeast, and hops all present and accounted for, and also working well together. Still not my favourite thing in this world of ours, but I can say when something is what it's supposed to be.
