750ml, sparkling wine (prosecco, in this case) bottle. Had to punt this one into the American category, as the brewer's description did nothing to dissuade me from doing so. Oh, and Cascade hops.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, sediment-strewn medium copper amber hue, with three fingers of puffy, densely foamy, and moderately bubbly off-white head, which leaves some rising landmass lace around the glass as it slowly recedes.
It smells rather fruity (plum, blood orange, and the generic pit sort), over a bready caramel malt, Italian nut paste, ethereal savoury spice, and some bristling leafy, earthy, and grassy hops. The taste is grainy, bready, and lightly doughy caramel malt, muddled dark orchard fruit, subtly phenolic yeast, blended holiday spices, and a still game weedy, leafy, and lemongrass-esque hoppiness.
The bubbles are fairly active, if kind of weak in their way of being so, the body medium-light in weight, and mostly smooth, a slight yeastiness tugging away at the corners, it would seem. It finishes well off-dry, the stunted fruitiness and steady caramel notes fading into that Tuscan-adjacent sunset.
Not a bad amber ale, the new-world/old-world hop schedule doing well to up-size a generally plain, if mostly affable base red ale. Nothing world-shaking, but enjoyable, as noted, yet probably more so if one was near the point of origin and not drinking it out of this dear export-sized packaging - oh, and this stuff actually comes in 1.5L bottles too. Santa merda!
