650ml bottle - 'Make Happy' reminds me of some character on the various versions of TMNT that my kid likes to watch.
This beer pours a mostly clear, medium golden amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, rather loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves a few examples of remote islet lace around the glass as it quickly recedes.
It smells of funky yeast, gritty and grainy pale malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, a further faint generic tropical fruitiness, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, bready and doughy cereal malt, still hard to parse citrus and exotic candied fruit notes, a fading estery yeastiness, and very tame herbal, leafy, and floral green hops.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coddling frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, as the sourness here is of the fruity sort, and the fleshed-out type, at that. It finishes off-dry, all frooty and mildly tart in its lingering posture.
Overall - this is an approachable and agreeable enough soured brew, one that wouldn't be particularly off-putting to newbies, as such. Fruity, as oft-noted, and easy to put back without thinking too hard about it, is my admittedly lame impression. And does it 'make happy'? The jury's still out on that one.
