355ml can - Brewsters has certainly made a blonde ale before, but usually of the fruited up the yin-yang variety.
This beer pours a mostly clear, pale golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and chunky bone-white head, which leaves some decent broken webbed lace around the glass as it slowly but surely bleeds off.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, a subtle wan wheatiness, estery yeast, faint apple and underripe pear fruity notes, and some ethereal leafy, weedy, and musky floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery cereal malt, some separate indistinct graininess, sort of funky yeast, a muddled pome fruitiness, and more weird earthy, musty, and herbal 'verdant' hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its swirling and twirling frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with just a touch of unwelcome yeastiness making a minor fuss here. It finishes trending dry, the malt sort of bottoming out, and that strangely unsettling hop acridity taking hold of the reins.
Overall - meh. I'm not a fan of the preceding brush-off, but it seems very apt here, so my apologies. There's just something bubbling underneath it all, that makes my palate say WTF? At any rate, the best thing about this offering is the only other online 'review' I could find, which is an amusingly hyper-contradictory one from that other (not quite independent anymore) site.
