75cl brown bottle purchased from Cave à Bulles in Paris. Brewed by Get Radical at Brasserie Corrézienne and named after a Rammstein song. The key part here is that no hop pellets or cones were used in its brewing, but 100% hop extract. As instructed on the bottle, I was listening to "Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen" while reviewing it.
Pours a very clear and bright golden orange colour. Body has some decent weight behind it, and holds carbonation in wonderfully fine, languid streams. Head is also great: a really nice firm crest of creamy, fine white that leaves excellent, tight lace. Looks great.
Nose is pretty weak, sadly. Thin, candied orange peters out to nothingness, while a faint barley-sugar sweetness sums up the rest. It's a bit of a shame that there's not more going on, but I guess that's what you get when you throw away all of your oils and resins in exchange for pure alpha-acid.
Taste is similarly fairly uninspired. It's clean at least, with a solid hop bitterness through the middle, but no breadth to the hop characters at all. Malt body is extremely muted, but at least it's there in the background to provide some support. It tastes like an IPA with all of the nuance and character removed: the bare bones around which a better beer could be constructed.
Overall: yep. This is what you get when you brew a beer with only extract. Sadly, it's clearly a pretty well-constructed and skillfully brewed drop of beer. But it's also a bit pointless.
