Herevana – Alibi – Photosphere
Alibi Photosphere, the #BeerJerkNZ beer of the week. They say it Is a “California Pilsner” I know the it is Thursday when the Beer Jerk club convenes and therefore it is Thirsty Thursday.
California
“Photosphere is made with 3 different German pilsner malts for just a touch of honey sweetness and Czech Saaz hops providing the more-ish bitterness. This crisp dry body was then elevated with the heavy addition of American Citra & Mosaic for the dry hop which give it big aroma and and dank citrus notes. Pilsners – hard to brew but easy to love.”
I found that for me that this has quote a big dull nose about it, and I can’t really tell you what hop that would be from, but, again only for me, this isn’t something that sits well, and has a terrible nose feel.
The drinking is similarly off centre with what I can only liken to a faux dankness.
No one is going to thank me for saying either of those things, but you just can’t like every beer, and although I appreciate this as a beer, and I will drink it all.
I wore this, and on re-reading I’m a bit ashamed “it’s not a beer that I’d care to remember and I’d probably not be able to be effusive about if asked if someone should buy it” in reality I don’t like that nose, I don’t enjoy that thudding hop note, but this is going to be really liked by quite a few people. Also, no one asked me what I think about beer 🙂
The pdubyah-o-meter surged to a 7 from 10 of it’s arbitrary thing. This is where most beer are, they’re their to be appealing without bing confrontational and off putting to the market.
Spotify recommended a playlist of Noel Gallagher, again, and I’m really off with that.
A life just as ordinary
