8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Isn't this one's name kind of redundant?

This beer appears a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent low pressure system profile lace around the glass as things slowly progress.

It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, some mixed tropical fruitiness (pineapple, guava, and kiwi), a damp minerality, and some leafy, weedy, and estery floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, pink bubblegum, muddled exotic fruit, wet stone paths after the rain, and more earthy, weedy, and musky floral verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-pleasing frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any sort of ruckus at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the hops doing well in their lingering stance.

Overall - this is a pleasant enough version of the style, nice and fruity in its hoppy bearing. The only drawback is the stiff retail price of this offering, which is the only thing that would prevent me from considering procuring more of it.
