With dinner at the hotel restaurant in Port au Choix. Clear Golden not much of a head a bit of skunk. Bready light floral hop kind of bland. It was wet and I was thirsty I drank it in record time.

341ml bottle - holy shit, Quidi Vidi is back in Alberta? That's going to make a lot of people happy here, especially the beer shoppe employees who had to be the bearers of bad news to so many transplanted Newfies asking for this stuff over the years!

This beer pours a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, chunky, and somewhat bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some decent boiling cauldron lace around the glass as it quickly sinks away.

It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, a hint of generic citrus fruitiness, some estery lager yeast, a very subtle smokiness, and plain earthy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, some yeasty doughiness, ethereal domestic citrus rind, and more herbal, spicy, and floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly weak in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of indeterminate acridity taking things down a notch or so here. It finishes off-dry, the big malt keeping the other lingering essences duly at bay.

Overall - this is a pleasant enough craft-brewed lager, with lots of complex maltiness, and just enough fruity and hoppy notes to make it interesting. Definitely a step up from the stuff that came cross-country last time, I gotta say.

A clear, pale yellow in color with a slight head formation that rapidly bubbles away. On the nose, earthy, and somewhat spicy hops dominate in a way not unlike Fuggles or one of the main English variants, with just a slight herbaceous sharpness. Malt characteristics of cereal also come through here, and lead the palate along with flavours of grass, spice, and more herbaceousness from the hops. Interestingly, not unlike the British IPA by this group, but much lighter, and with a generally lighter finish. Not bad.
