650ml bottle, a very similar sounding brew to their Last Call Blonde from earlier this year, although that one was a lager, and this one is an ale. Aaaaaah - excuse me if I don't cue up some vintage Kim Mitchell.
This beer pours a clear, medium golden yellow colour, with one fat finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly dirty (natch) white head, which leaves some swollen rain cloud lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of bready pale and caramel malt, a buttery yeastiness, baked apples and pears, and some earthy, leafy, and mildly grassy hoppiness. The taste is much the same - gritty, grainy pale malt, a twinge of caramel sweetness, buttered white bread, yeast that have seen better days, and plain weedy, leafy, and stricken grassy hops.
The bubbles are fairly underwhelming in their wan and simplistic frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, but a bit too clammy from that increasingly overarching buttery thing to be considered properly smooth. It finishes well off-dry, the lingering bready (don't forget that pat o' Lucerne) and doughy malt still large and certainly in charge.
Not nearly as engaging as its blonde lager kin (but the chick on this label is definitely sexier, for what it's worth), which is kind of surprising, as one might think that getting a lager off the ground for a new brewing concern would be the more challenging of the two. Anyways, plain, and with a diacetyl problem that it really ought to go and get checked out.
