473ml can - more Medicine Hat lore on the label description, which I shall leave to you to go out and investigate.
This beer pours a clear (I believe), dark ruby-accented brown colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and sort of creamy tan head, which leaves some decent natural land-bridge formation lace around the glass as it slowly seeps away.
It smells of lightly roasted, bready and doughy caramel malt, chocolate-covered coconut (so, Bounty bars), a hint of cafe-au-lait, and some tame earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready cereal malt, a touch of wispy ashiness, day-old coffee grounds, a faint copra nuttiness, and more well-understated earthy, herbal, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is pretty laid-back in its innocuous-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of 'normal' at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt and faded coconut presiding.
Overall - yeah, I'm not really feeling the love with this offering, as it seems a tad thin, with the guest ingredient essentially phoning it in. Not poorly made, just more than a tad underwhelming, I am sad to report.
