650ml bottle - essentially a single-hop IPA, made with the Denali varietal, and another collaboration with Tap & Barrel.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium copper amber colour, with three fat fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat bubbly beige head, which leaves some random chunky cloud form lace around the glass as it slowly but surely abates.
It smells of orange and white grapefruit citrus peel, a further muddled tropical fruitiness, some rather laid-back bready and doughy caramel malt, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a fading caramel sweetness, mixed domestic citrus rind, a faint wet minerality, and some edgy earthy, musty, and herbal 'verdant' hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and more or less smooth, even with all those testy hop esters flitting about here. It finishes trending dry, the malt pretty much having given up the ghost, while the now thoroughly indistinct bitterness lingers like a stupid cough.
Overall - this one comes off like a one-trick pony, with the bitter aspect overshadowing the majority of the inherent flavour. That's okay if you're into that sort of thing, but my tastebuds are weary of this experience after only a small glass so far. Better luck next time.
