650ml bottle - the latest release in their IPA Series, single-hopped with the Denali varietal.
This beer pours a mostly clear, medium copper amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely rocky, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent scattered cloud form lace around the glass as it slowly seeps away.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, canned pineapples, some sugary citrus fleshiness, and subtle earthy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, muddled tropical fruity notes, a touch of earthy yeastiness, some damp minerality, and more leafy, weedy, and resinous piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really a cause for concern at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt and mixed frooty esters contending with some lingering forest floor detritus acridity.
Overall - this comes across as a well-rendered version of the style, with the solo hop treatment turning out to be capable of carrying the show. Quite flavourful, hardly bitter at all (the prevailing trend, of late), and very easy to put back on another blustery June afternoon.
