375ml, cool as ever was squat stubbie bottle, the next brew in line from this tiny island nation now available in Alberta.
This beer pours a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with three fat fingers of puffy, tightly foamy, and somewhat bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some sudsy eroding snowbank lace around the glass as it evenly blows off.
It smells of semi-sweet rice and corn mash, a rising doughy breadiness, muddled pome fruit notes, overripe green table grapes, and a faint earthy, leafy, and piney bitterness. The taste is more doughy, bready malt and corn graininess, stale white grape juice, subtle gritty honey, and plain leafy, weedy, and earthy hop bitters.
The carbonation is fairly laid-back, mostly just manifesting in a gentle frothiness, the body a sturdy medium weight, and generally smooth - very little hops and virtually nothing else existing to cause any trouble. It finishes well off-dry, the undercooked breadiness lingering alone.
While not bad, in terms of the expected random national lager skunkiness (props for the brown bottle), not a lot of flavour jumps out at you either. At any rate, easy enough to drink, cheap (even this far from Fiji), and at 'full strength', something that could carry one sensibly through an afternoon in an island paradise, I would imagine.
