650ml bottle - an IPA brewed with passionfruit tea, by a Mr. Trevor Blackburn, of Reno, Nevada.
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent honeycomb profile lace around the glass as it slowly sinks out of sight.
It smells of passionfruit, mango, and guava flesh, bready and doughy cereal malt, a further domestic citrus rind acerbity, some stoney flintiness, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a muddled tropical fruitiness, weak herbal tea, some orange and lemon citrus peel, a damp minerality, and more leafy, grassy, and piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really getting into any sort of mischief at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the citrus and exotic frooty essences exhibiting the most lingering gusto.
Overall - the tea really adds an extra dimension to an otherwise solid version of style. Crisp, refreshing, and easy enough to put back, on an afternoon where it actually appears that Spring may be sticking around for a while, at least.
