March 2012 Fruit Hog seasonal - a shaker pint in Oliver Square.
This beer appears a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with one finger of foamy, soapy white head, which renders a decent random array of streaky lace patterns around the glass as it evenly settles.
It smells of thin grainy malt, some faint soapiness, and earthy, somewhat sour fleshy fruit. The taste is very sourdough bread, some surprising aged lemon, middling, fairly weak black currant berry, with some dank musty hop dryness tugging away gamely.
The carbonation is well sublimated, causing little ado, the body a solid medium weight for a lager, with a thin metallic edge, which seems to have little bearing on the overall agreeable smoothness of this joint. It finishes on a solid, if indeterminate, fruity note, with the supportive graininess adding to a pretty rounded affair.
Well, while this is by no means a bad tipple, and actually rather good as a whole, it just doesn't deliver the straight-ahead tart, fruity currant goodness I was angling for in a Fruit Hog offering. I grew up with currant bushes in the backyard, and consumed my fair share of French Creme cookies. Not really getting that here.
