16oz glass at Beer Revolution - not a common style to be made by a West Coast brewery, one would think.

This beer appears a clear, dark red cola-tinted brown colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and kind of bubbly tan head, which leaves some spindly garden bush branch lace around the glass as it quickly dissolves.

It smells weakly of grainy, crackery, and slightly roasted caramel malt, ethereal black fruit, and tame earthy and weedy hops. The taste is generic caramel and flat grainy malt, a touch of wet ash, soft flinty notes, some ghostly plum and raisin fruitiness, and more understated leafy, weedy, and floral noble hops.

The carbonation is rather low-powered, and often barely registering on the trusty ol' froth-o-meter, the body a stoic medium-light weight, and more or less smooth, with nothing really kicking about to cause any fuss. It finishes off-dry, the wan caramel malt and further faltering fruitiness not making much of a case for long term relations.

Maybe it's the style, or maybe it's this rendition of it, but I found myself getting utterly bored less than halfway through this still weird-ass American-style pint. There's certainly nothing off here; it's really the lack of any notable flavours that engage you, and insist that you come back for more.
