650ml bottle - another part of the 'Student Craft Beer Series', this one from Ian Sinclair. Cool hop-based Indiana Jones-style label imagery.
This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and mildly bubbly beige head, which leaves some decent silly string lace around the glass as it lazily recedes.
It smells of semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, a touch of biscuity toffee, candi sugar, muddled domestic citrus rind, and some plain earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, a lessened caramel sweetness, fading generic citrus notes, and more well understated leafy, herbal, and musty hoppiness.
The carbonation is damned near non-existent in its flaccid frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really extant here that might cause any sort of trouble. It finishes off-dry, with the malt and hops in a very wan lingering pas-de-deux.
Overall - yeah, this one barely qualifies as a 'hoppy' version of anything. It's sweet, and really just boring the hell out of my palate - I'm kind of reminded of Rickard's Red, albeit on one of my more accepting of corporate piss days, so sad to say.
