650ml bottle - so, no Brett in this one - phew!
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat fizzy off-white head, which leaves a bit of random sea plume lace around the glass as it quickly sinks out of sight.
It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, muddled domestic fruity notes, a strange earthy peppery character, some subtle yeastiness, and an understated weedy, leafy, and floral green hop bitterness. The taste is crackery and bready pale malt, a more subtle caramel sweetness, some mixed pome and citrus fruitiness, fading earthy yeast notes, and more plain leafy, herbal, and grassy verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its poking and prodding frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, nothing really milling about here that might cause any sort of interference patterns, as such. It finishes off-dry, the fruity and malty esters slowly bearing down on my uncaring soul.
Overall, this is yet another bland, and inoffensive offering for the broad-ass style, but with at least a modicum of hoppy acerbity to keep my waiting palate 'muy ocupado'. Easy to drink, so much so, that I almost forgot to end this review, whilst perusing the goings-on of the day in a different browser window - really.
