355ml can - made with Nugget, Chinook, Centennial, and Cascade hops (how much of, we shall soon find out).
This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and fizzy ecru head, which leaves some random soap scum lace around the glass as it quickly bleeds out of sight.
It smells of mildly dank pine resin, gritty and grainy pale malt, faint indistinct citrus peel, and further weedy, herbal, and dead floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery pale malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, plain dried honey, a sort of musty yeast 'character', and more wan leafy, piney, and wet grassy verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly tame in its AWOL-leaning frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with a teensy airy creaminess settling in once things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the malt holding fast, while the hop kiddies sense that they're up way past their bedtime.
Overall, this is just another underdeveloped, cut corners sort of offering - the quartet of hops that they purportedly threw at this brew come off as merely wan and sickly. Easy to drink, I suppose, with no real off-flavours, but more of a weak-sauce pale ale, than anything.
