355ml can, the latest in their revolving series of single-hopped IPAs, which is ironic, given how they've named this one.

This beer pours a mostly clear, medium golden amber colour, with three zaftig fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves a bit of streaky tree branch lace around the glass as it slowly sinks out of sight.

It smells of grainy and doughy caramel malt, buttered white bread, some musty yeastiness, and very subtle earthy, weedy, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is grainy and biscuity pale malt, some wet minerality, a thankfully retreating estery yeast thing, and more understated earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its structurally supportive frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing in particular getting on my bad side at this juncture. It finishes trending dry, the malt and floral hops kind of just stupidly staring at each other in their wanly lingering poses.

Overall - yeah, there's just something not right about this offering. It could be the hops, since I'm not exactly familiar with Perle, but that musty, yeasty 'character' has to be held at least somewhat accountable. Back to the drawing board time, I'm sad to say.
