355ml can - see now here, eh, let's have a nice little parley, eh?
This beer pours a mostly clear, medium copper amber colour with two skinny fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some splendidly random hanging tree branch lace around the glass as it quickly abates.
It smells of doughy and crackery pale and caramel malts, a faint biscuity toffee joint, sort of edgy yeast, and leafy, earthy, and piney (basically just very woodsy) hop bitters. The taste is gritty grainy and crackery pale malt, some lesser biscuity sweetness, well underripe domestic citrus, a hint o' the mint, ethereal yeasty notes, and more growing leafy, weedy, and herbal hoppiness.
The bubbles are adequate in their basically supportive and not-oft playful frothiness, the body a capable middleweight, and sort of smooth, but for, y'know, friend, those meddlesome neighbourhood hops, y'hear? It finishes trending quite dry, the cavalcade of hop additions really coming into their own, it would seem.
Overall, another iteration of the session ale 'style' that has finally crossed the Rubicon, as it were, in the sense of arriving, well, somewhere. Good and hoppy, with a duly lowered ABV, and no typically commensurate drop in appreciative mouthfeel. Maybe the hops are a bit strangled in their kitchen sink approach, but that's a minor quibble, in the grand sense of all things beer.
