355ml can - this offering has extra everything, apparently, except for the ABV, just sayin'.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, rocky, and sort of silky off-white head, which leaves some splendid webbed lace around the glass as it slowly but surely sinks away.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some hard water flintiness, orange and white grapefruit citrus pith, and plain earthy, floral, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, a hint of earthy yeastiness, mixed domestic citrus rind, a damp minerality, and more leafy, herbal, and resinous piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its palate-probing frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of hop acridity maybe not toeing the company line here. It finishes trending dry, the hops starting to edge out any lingering malt aspirations.
Overall - this is indeed one hopped-up pale ale, one that doesn't eschew the bitterness, which counters what seems to be the current fad. Crisp, nice and drinkable, and a pleasure to enjoy on yet another pretty warm summer day (I know, this will change sooner rather than later).
