650ml bottle - 'Fruity | Sour | Cosmic'. Apparently there is a yeast strain called 'Imperial Juice'. I'm officially old.
This beer pours a clear, medium golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat fizzy off-white head, which leaves some random splattered chunky lace around the glass as it slowly seeps out of sight.
It smells of dank pine resin, some musty yeastiness, gritty and grainy cereal malt, indistinct domestic citrus rind, and more earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is soured milk, grainy and crackery pale malt, muddled orange and lemon citrus peel, estery yeast, and more leafy, weedy, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-tingling frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with perhaps a touch of tartness bringing things down a notch or two from the ideal here. It finishes trending dry, the hops and sour character holding the majority of the lingering cards.
Overall - this does indeed come across as sour and hoppy, as already mentioned, so, hey, I can respect truth in advertising (though I wouldn't exactly deem it 'cosmic'). Crisp, a tad brash, but easy enough to put back, with no indication of the extra point of ABV. A pleasant meshing of style worlds.
