650ml bottle - the latest in their 'Forage Series', made with stuff that they found on the mountain behind their brewery.

This beer pours a clear, bright medium bronzed amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and rather bubbly beige head, which leaves but a few instances of spotty islet lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.

It smells of pine forests after a hard rain, gritty and grainy cereal malt, some earthy yeastiness, and very faint leafy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, estery herbal notes, wet grass, some black pepper spiciness, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hops.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really sticking its neck out to cause any problems at this point in the game. It finishes trending dry, the malt fading fast, with that gin-esque herbal character exhibiting some lingering moxie.

Overall - this is an agreeable enough offering, the guest ingredient applied with a sober (hah) hand. Easy to drink, it comes off like an amber ale, with a slight vegetal edge, and no sign of the extra point and a half of ABV. Worth checking out.
