650ml bottle - no indication on the label as to what a 'whirlpool' pale ale is supposed to be for we laymen out there.
This beer pours a mostly clear, medium copper amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly creamy ecru head, which leaves some stringy and streaky sudsy lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.
It smells of rather sugary caramel malt, cotton candy, juicy domestic citrus flesh, a hint of generic tropical fruitiness, lemon Pledge, and some plain leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, Pez candies, muddled sweet citrus notes, more hard to parse exotic fruit, and some zingy leafy, piney, and gently perfumed floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with just a touch of hop acridity maybe sticking its hands outside the car windows here. It finishes off-dry, the sugary notes contending with a lingering floral bitterness.
Overall - this is an interesting enough version of the style, complex in its flavour structure, and more or less a pleasure to put back. Perhaps a tad sweet, but it's moderated to an agreeable point, in the end. Worth checking out.
