355ml can - why does it seem kind of lazy to me to name a beer simply after the city you are in?
This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly fizzy off-white head, which leaves some splattered paint job lace around the glass as it slowly sinks out of sight.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some orange and red grapefruit citrus pith, a bit of stoney flintiness, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, some weird earthy spiciness, a damp minerality, and more understated leafy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly tame in its milquetoast frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, but for an uncertain 'something' that is getting all up in my various palates. It finishes trending dry, the malt going to biscuit-town, and the hops showing some lingering sass.
Overall - yeah, I don't know exactly what it is, but I'm just not feeling this one. It's supposedly made with Cascade, but you could have fooled me. Not particularly bad, but I don't think that I will be procuring anymore of it in the near future.
