650ml bottle, one with a punny name about a not so funny historical place, i.e. where Passchendaele becomes Passion D'Ale. Ok, it works.
This beer pours a very cloudy, medium tarnished golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, loosely faomy, and mostly soapy bone-white head, which leaves some decent sudsy mountain stream lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of bready, grainy wheat malt, sharp coriander and white pepper spice, mildly funky yeast, musty orange peel, and leafy, rather estery floral hops. The taste is edgy, fairly phenolic yeast, muddled stale coriander and wet black pepper, a hint of sodden cardboard packaging, gritty orange pith, and a more sedate leafy, earthy, and weirdly floral hop bitterness.
The carbonation is fairly light on its feet in its congenial frothiness, the body on the lean side of true middleweight, and not particularly smooth, as that sharp, musty cardboard essence precludes such a thing. It finishes dry, the grainy wheatiness trying to put on a brave smile, but alas, 'tis too late.
I don't know how often WWI era generals had to go back to the drawing board after things didn't go as planned, but I would guess it happened sometimes. And sometimes is what we have here, as in it's possible that somewhere along the line to perfect and release a product, the proverbial ball is dropped. Can't say that I know where that happened in Passion d'Ale, but I'd be willing to have another go at this one at a later date.
