473ml can - an Irish Ale, dry hopped with the Cascade and Willamette varietals. What's with the portrayal of the barrels on the label?
This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves some layered and streaky cirrus cloud form lace around the glass as it rather lazily subsides.
It smells of lightly roasted, bready and doughy caramel malt, a bit of biscuity toffee, some indistinct bruised pome fruitiness, oily bar-top nuts, and some plain earthy, weedy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, more earthy nuttiness, a hint of bittersweet cocoa powder, and still rather tame musty, weedy, and floral 'verdant' hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, with a minor crackery thing somehow messing with the ideal here. It finishes off-dry, but not by all that much.
Overall - this comes across as a basic cable version of the style, nothing wrong with it, but I'm not really getting the West Coast hops so decadently displayed on the can. Biscuity and malty, for the most part, which is certainly easier to just slug back, than to attempt to describe.
