650ml bottle, with an appropriate name, in keeping with the blending of the worlds of beer and mining.
This beer pours a hazy, pale golden straw colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and mildly creamy bone-white head, which leaves some streaky and splattered lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of bready, doughy pale malt, muddled citrus zest, slightly edgy yeast, a subtle coriander and white pepper spiciness, and some faint earthy and weedy hop bitterness. The taste is gritty wheat graininess, more doughy pale malt, still indistinct citrus (maybe some dried orange and lemon rind), earthy coriander, rainbow peppercorn, sassy yeast, and a further, but hard to pin down bitter dryness.
The carbonation is decently frothy, with the odd fizzy tic, the body medium-light in weight, and generally smooth, both the yeast and mixed spice taking a little off the top, as it were. It finishes trending dry, the wheatiness holding onto its inherent sweetness for only so long.
Overall, a well-made witbier, all the hallmarks addressed, undressed, and then dressed right back up again! Anyways, more or less bang-on for the style, so in the end, the titular reference kind of doesn't work - this is no blending of elements, but rather the real (Belgian-inspired) McCoy.
