341ml bottle, thanks to the Pump House rep for the samples.
This beer pours a hazy medium golden apricot colour, with one finger of thinly foamy off-white head, which leaves little in the way of lace around the glass as it quickly settles.
It smells of sweet lemongrass, zingy fresh ginger, further orange citrus, some hard to discern wheaty graininess, and bitter leafy, earthy hops. The taste is more pungent tart and sweet lemongrass, a softened ginger tea essence, grainy, and somewhat bready wheat malt, and a prominent bitterness, amongst the fray, from the consistent leafy, weedy hops.
The bubbles are pretty tame, just plying their support role, the body a simmering medium weight, with an attendant spice-leavened smoothness. It finishes off-dry, the multi-pronged sweetness well offset by the level of persistent spice and hops.
An interesting direction to take a wheat beer - the lemongrass and ginger are just short of becoming overbearing, in that they are the face of this offering, and everything else falls to the shadows, except maybe for the weirdly, but at the same time welcome, bitter hops, who still have a tough time pushing through the Southeast Asian savoury flavours. Unique in my beer-tasting experience, and worth giving a go at least once.
