16oz glass at Beer Revolution Edmonton. Apparently this is made with an experimental hop, one that is a cross breed of the Apollo and Wye Target varieties.
This beer appears a glassy, medium copper amber hue, with one finger of puffy, moderately foamy, and chunky off-white head, which leaves some layered limestone cliff lace around the glass as it genially recedes.
It smells of mildly dank pine resin, semi-sweet caramel malt, some red and black sugary fruitiness, a soft earthy spiciness, and further herbal, grassy hops. The taste is sharp pine needles, tart orange and red grapefruit pith, grainy caramel malt, a touch of earthy yeast, a slight hard water flintiness, and more spicy, leafy, and herbal hops.
The bubbles are generally supportive in their mildly peppy frothiness, the body medium-light in weight, and tentatively smooth, a light airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad. It finishes off-dry, the base malt trying one last ploy, before the various bitter hops put their foot down.
A decent experimental IPA, the mix of old and new world-seeming hops working out in the end. Lots of pine, citrus, and more sedately earthy and the lot essences, which puts the brakes on this becoming a typical west coast hop bomb. Are we all certain that this wasn't produced a bit further north in British Columbia?
