473ml can - over two years since this one was added, and no reviews. Way to step up, Lotuslanders. Meh.
This beer pours a hazy, medium apricot yellow colour, with four fat-ass fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky bone-white head, which leaves some decent layered frilly lace around the glass as it eventually sinks away.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some orange, red grapefruit, and lemon citrus rind, a stoney flintiness, and some leafy, weedy, and dank piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, muddled domestic citrus peel, a damp minerality, and more herbal, weedy, and resinous piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, but for a minor hop acridity maybe not making nice with the locals at this point in the game. It finishes trending dry, the Simcoe varietal asserting its lingering authoritah!
Overall - this comes across as a well-made version of the style, nice and rounded in its complexity. Easy enough to put back as the Spring sun shines through the windows, one and all. Sort of wish that I had another one of these to go with some BBQ cheeseburgers later tonight. Ah well, better planning next time!
