16oz pint at the Half Pints' tap takeover at Beer Revolution YEG.
This beer appears a hazy medium dull golden amber colour, with one finger of weakly puffy, mostly soapy dirty white head, which leaves some broad webbed lace around the glass as things bleed duly south.
It smells of raspberry cream, bready pale malt, and mild earthy, leafy hops. The taste is much in line with the nose - semi-sweet grainy pale malt, somewhat green fleshy raspberry puree, and leafy, weedy hops.
The carbonation is fairly active and palate pricking at first, but slowly dials it down a notch or two, the body a decent medium weight, one maybe a bit too edgy in its lackadaisical smoothness, and yet beginner level creamy by the same measure. It finishes off-dry, the raspberry going to ground (near literally) in its endgame earthiness, while the pleasantly rounded bready pale malt hold this ship asteady.
A subtly rendered raspberry ale, the guest fruit showing up, showing us the goods, and then respectfully slinking into the night, letting the base malt strut its stuff. One of the few raspberry-flavoured beers that I could see ordering another of, but not tonight, not tonight.
