650ml bottle - apparently this was created for the Last Best IPA tap takeover during the recent Alberta Beer Week. Glad to see that they've now packaged it as such! Made with an empty brewing vessel, and frozen Ella & Galaxy hops.
This beer pours a rather hazy, medium copper amber colour, with three chubby fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and well-bubbly ecru head, which leaves some sticky and splattered snow rime lace around the glass as it slowly sinks out of sight.
It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, some strawberry, kiwi, and gooseberry sexy fruitiness, a hint of earthy yeast, and more leafy, weedy, and musky floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery caramel malt, some muddled exotic fruity notes, an equal to the task pedestrian citrus rind acerbity, some ephemeral yeastiness, and more herbal, piney, and musty floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-taunting frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, but for a wee plain hop bitterness getting in the way of a complete good time here. It finishes trending dry, as the fruity essences bleed out, and the floral and piney character puts 'er in 'H'.
Overall, for something that was supposedly a 'rush job', this turned out all right - the two antipodean hops providing some pleasant fruity and floral flavours, as promised. Worth a try, if you can get a hold of it before their next expedited order.
