1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - thanks, Robyn, for the bang-up seal job!
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some stellar broken webbed lace around the glass as it slowly sinks out of sight.
It smells rather lightly of gritty and grainy cereal malt, domestic citrus rind, some hard water flintiness, and very tame earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, bready and doughy pale malt, some mixed generic pome and citrus fruitiness, a hint of earthy spice, some damp minerality, and more well-understated leafy, herbal, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is pretty weak in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a smidge around here. It finishes off-dry, with a plain lingering maltiness.
Overall - yeah, this one seems to pull all of its punches. There's nothing off or wrong with it, but nothing pops, either. It's like my flavour-buds took a half-day, or something, because I'm really beginning to find it hard to focus on caring anymore about this particular offering.
