1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - same shit fill from the same employee as last time. To be clear, no dandelions were harmed in the making of this brew, right?
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, rather loosely foamy, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some decent boiling cauldron profile lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a bit of underripe apple and pear fruitiness, some mild flinty notes, and very tame earthy, floral, and herbal green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, some understated and muddled pome and citrus essences, a hint of earthy yeastiness, some mild damp minerality, and more ethereal leafy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly restrained in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, but for a subtle pithiness arising as things warm up a tad out of the ol' basement bar fridge. It finishes trending dry, the malt starting a slow, lingering downward spiral.
Overall - this comes across as an average version of the style, with a solid malt bill, yet not nearly enough hop flavour to bring it out of the mire. Something to drink when you really don't want to ponder what's in your hand, just that it's a beer. Oddly, that works for me right about now.
