8oz glass at the Beer Revolution Edmonton tap takeover for Double Mountain.
This beer appears a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with one skinny finger of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some pleasant pockmarked limestone wall lace around the glass as things slowly abate.
It smells of grainy and bready pale malt, a lesser spicy wheatiness, subtle earthy yeast, a mixed citrus and pome fruitiness, and some leafy and musty hoppiness. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, subtle caramel sweetness, faded wheaten cereals, exotic citrus, more pedestrian apple and pear, ephemeral yeast (for the style), and some weak earthy and floral green hop bitters.
The carbonation is fairly active in its supportive frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, yet rather smooth, with a thin airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad. It finishes off-dry, the malt not packing 'er in just yet.
Overall, this is a nicely rendered Hefeweizen, with the typical banana esters swapped out for a different sort of fruitiness, which works, though I would now consider this more of an American wheat ale. Semantics, I know.
