Five bucks a growler at the brewery, so I'm willing to be pretty damn generous with this beer. Overall, it really is not too bad in small doses. It's brownish, with sweet esters of caramel. The flavor is caramel malt with a bit of Kit Kat for good measure. There are plenty of more expensive Euro lagers out there that are on par with this stuff.

20oz pint at the Underground. Thought I'd have to stop in Red Deer to have a shot at this - kind of happy that I now don't have to.
This beer appears a clear, dark reddish amber colour, with one finger of loosely foamy, bubbly beige head, which leaves a decent array of sparse island group lace around the glass as things drop away.
It smells of biscuity caramel malt, a whiff of meaty smoke, some stale oily nuts, a wee bit of muted citrus, hard water minerals, and earthy, weedy hops. The taste is fairly sweet nutty malt, slightly roasted, with a somewhat sharp, yet indistinct orchard fruitiness, more wet, musty stone, and earthy, dead leaf hops.
The bubbles are active, but at a lo-fi, thrumming sort of level, the body an adequate medium weight, but with a moderate clammy caveat, and generically smooth. It finishes on the sweet side, as the biscuity malt reasserts itself, the fruit and nuts blending into the background, and the hops planting roots in the nearest wall.
Not a bad dark lager, definitely a step up from this brewery's various domestic lager emulating offerings. Deeply memorable? Nah - moving in the right direction is all one can ask. And sorry about the Red Deer crack earlier - I've weirdly come to have a soft spot for this central Alberta whistlestop.
