330ml bottle, the current 'Seasonale' from Stanley Park, which appears to be an autumnal one, and blah blah blah, I can't help but think of one Foghorn Leghorn right about now.
This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some chubby hanging EKG readout lace around the glass as it slowly but surely abates.
It smells of gently roasted caramel malt, some oily nuttiness, faint cafe-au-lait, muddled dark orchard fruit, subtle citrus flesh, and some earthy, leafy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a bit of free-range ashiness, wet bar-top nuts, wan lemon and pithy grapefruit citrus notes, a bit of wayward son yeastiness, ethereal bittersweet cocoa powder, and more plain leafy, weedy, and somewhat floral hoppiness.
The bubbles are fairly straightforward in their quotidian frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and sort of smooth, as the char and otherwise meek hops choose now to put their clammy feet down. It finishes off-dry, the base malt holding tough, to its credit, with the other sundry esters bleeding out in their individual lingering fashions.
Overall, a better than average attempt by this brewing concern to shake things up - there's a lot more brown ale character going on here than any so-called 'India' essences, i.e. big and brassy hops. Not a bad brew, and actually pretty spot-on for a time when you look outside, and the grass is still very green, the leaves haven't fallen, and yet you wonder - jeez, it's a bit nippy out there!
