Can (no date) from Manchester Wine and Liquors. It's a hazy golden-light brown with nice sparkle, finger-plus width off-white rocky foam head with excellent retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is mix of mildly sweet and dank tart fruit over mild pine. Taste is cereal malt over more subtle dank fruit. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, lively carbonation and crisp, dry finish with lingering bitterness. Overall, when your name is Hopsy Turvy, you'd think there'd be more hop presence to this. But, the can advertises a Quality Malted Beverage so perhaps the malt forward is what they were going for? Old school and not so great at it. Too carbonated.
