330ml bottle, part of the current Barn Burner autumn-themed mixed pack from the Big Rock Brewery. Who says golden ales are only for summer? Well, lots of people, actually.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a bit of cannonball splash aftermath lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of musty yeast, grainy pale malt, stale butter, a faint tropical fruitiness, and maybe some ephemeral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, buttery crackers, a slightly phenolic yeastiness, still hard to appreciate mixed tropical fruit notes, and more plain and understated leafy and musty hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly timid in its basically punch clock-oriented frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and kind of slick and smarmy in its attempt at a low-rent smoothness. It finishes well off-dry, in a sort of sweet, buttery and fruity morass.
Yeah, back to square one, the drawing table, the bad middle management days, whatever - I highly doubt (dubito) that ol' Ed himself would have stocked his fridge with crap like this, even if it was the current 'seasonal' product, let alone all year long. Bleh.
