650ml bottle - all I can hear in my mind right now is 'crack that whip', with that crazy bass line. Aaaaaah - my own nostalgia revisited via some hipster wannabe twenty-something brewers!.
This beer pours a glassy, medium copper amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent pockmarked limestone wall lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, some subtle earthy yeastiness, a touch of wan table-top spice, and more weak leafy, weedy, and dead floral green hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, bready and crackery caramel malt, some minor biscuity toffee esters, still hard to parse exotic fruity notes, some mundane domestic citrusy essences, yeast that might seem to want be elsewhere right now, and a comparable sense of that for the rest of us.
The carbonation is quite overwrought in its stupidly far-reaching frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and not particularly smooth, as the yeast and wayward hoppiness seem less than careful about making a scene here. It finishes off-dry, the sweet malt and mixed fruity character thankfully making amends.
Overall, this is one of the better made brews from this very micro-oriented concern, in that they have kept the yeasty component on the down-low, and the big hoppy essences steamrolling right along. Easy to drink, no real relevance allotted to the purported 14-proof booze factor, and from that, I bid you a well-earned good night.
