650ml bottle - man, that bandwagon is sure starting to look dangerously overcrowded at this point! Who knew that the 'Russell' in this brewery's name was actually their brew kettle - marketing people, that's who!
This beer pours a clear, pale golden amber colour, with one chubby finger of puffy, weakly foamy, and fairly fizzy dirty white head, which leaves a bit of stringy DNA chain lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of slightly tart and indistinct orchard fruit, some soured cereal-forward graininess, subtle spoiled milk notes, a hint of out of touch yeast, and very plain earthy, weedy, and somewhat herbal hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, gently sour candied berry fruit, some well-expired milkiness, and more understated earthy, musty, and ephemerally floral hoppiness.
The bubbles are pretty tame in their barely palpable frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and sort of smooth, with that sour lacto thing quietly undermining any attempts at such here. It finishes mostly dry, grainy, and softy tart 'n sour.
Overall, a fairly plain, if earnest stab at a kettle soured offering, the mixed fruity and milky essences almost, but not quite, distracting fully from each other. Easy enough to drink, I suppose, but not as engaging or eye-opening as some of our more local versions of the style (casts a glance at Blindman).
