473ml can - what makes this one juicy, one may be inclined to ask? Well, Belma and Mosaic hops, that's what!
This beer pours a mostly clear, medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and mildly bubbly ecru head, which leaves some decent hanging frilly lace around the glass as it slowly slips away.
It smells of grainy and crackery caramel malt, some mild honeydew and cantaloupe melon notes, a further muddled tropical fruitiness, some wet stone paths after a hard rain, and faint earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and bready cereal malt, some exotic guava and passionfruit notes, a damp minerality, and more understated leafy, weedy, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-pleasing frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad by this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the burly malt and mixed frooty esters showing the best lingering oopmh.
Overall - this is a flavourful enough concoction, yet one that kind of comes across somewhat underwhelming at times. It's juicy, sure, but really more malt-focused than anything, which shouldn't be a surprise from this play it safe brewing concern.
