650ml bottle - made with Ahtanum and Mosaic hops - so I'm already gonna half-like this one, then (right, junior high school self)?
This beer pours a hazy and tarnished medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some decent Runic script lace around the glass as it lazily blows off.
It smells of semi-sweet, almost pastry-friendly caramel malt, muddled berry and neutered citrus fruity notes, a touch of wayward son yeast, and more plain leafy, weedy, and somewhat piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and lightly doughy pale malt, a fast fading gritty caramel thang, hovering Belgian-esque yeast, still hard to differentiate citrusy and plump berry fruit, and a bookending earthy, weedy, and musty piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly light on the ol' palate, what with its come-hither frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, just a touch of yeasty intransigence keeping us out of the medals here. It finishes off-dry, that robust malt re-asserting itself, amongst flailing hops and yeast alike.
Overall, the 'whitening' of this IPA is subtle, at best, but enough to indicate that this isn't a simple West Coast new hop combo wankfest - we got our proprietary yeast too, yo! Whatever, the fruit flavours are heady, but don't exactly break through, and the overall effect is less IPA, and more Belgian Pale Ale. Interesting, I suppose, but not really my bag.
