355ml single bottle, part of the new Bad Tattoo mixed pack, whose name currently escapes me. Another trashy but suitable moniker from this brewery's marketing arm, and made with American and Australian hops, hence the tag line 'What's Up Down Under?'.
This beer pours a mostly clear, medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some stellar coalescing webbed lace around the glass as it slowly sinks away.
It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, muddled domestic citrus fruit, a further pineapple-fronted tropical thing, some weird edgy flintiness, and more zippy floral, piney, and herbal hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, some blood orange, white grapefruit, overripe melon, and kiwi fruitiness, a bit of Pez dispenser chalkiness, and more leafy, floral, and piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly benign in its plain and just easy to get along with frothiness, the body a sturdy middleweight for the style, and generally smooth, nothing really coming in hot and/or clumsy here. It finishes off-dry, the malt keeping 'er steady, while the various fruity hop esters flit about like untethered toddlers.
Overall, a none-too-shabby rendering of this venerable New World brew - good and hoppy, but balanced in the aim of being eminently quaffable. I'll leave the determination of the latter up to those of you who have a more readily available supply of this stuff, for the time being.
