473ml can - a 'Brut IPA with Sac-Trois'. Wow, Russell is trying to step up to the big leagues, it would seem.
This beer pours a clear, medium golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some random, splattered chunky lace around the glass as it slowly but surely disperses.
It smells of pineapple, guava, and kiwi flesh, bready and grainy cereal malt, a faint earthy yeastiness, and some plain leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and crackery pale malt, some muddled tropical fruitiness, further indistinct domestic citrus rind, ethereal yeast, and more herbal, floral, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its palate-taunting frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and rather smooth, with a minor airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes trending dry, the frootiness tailing off into the lingering void.
Overall - this comes across as a pretty enjoyable version of the nascent style, nice and fruity, and yeah, hardly bitter at all (which I am not going to complain about, because I know that I can still get that elsewhere). Worth checking out.
