1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor Store - thanks for the relatively generous pour goes to Aaron, he of the predilection for this stuff in the first place - cheers, dude! (and I hope the spiced rum did the trick tonight!)
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with three ebullient fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and well bubbly ecru head, which leaves some chunky and streaky lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of bready and biscuity caramel malt, my kid's oatmeal breakfasts, subtle generic citrus and piney hop astringencies, muddled pome fruit, a twinge of white/black pepper dust, and further leafy and weedy green hoppiness. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, oatmeal bars, edgy, and bordering on phenolic yeast, still kind of hard to discern citrusy and apple-based fruity notes, and more leafy, weedy, and vaguely piney green hop bitters.
The bubbles are fairly prevalent, but in a generally easy on the various palates frothiness, the body an even-handed middleweight, and pretty well smooth, nothing really giving one cause for concern here. It finishes off-dry, but barely, as that biscuity character really shows some solid staying power.
Overall, yeah, this is another offering from this brewery that illustrates the difficulty of maintaining any sort of product steadiness - the hop schedule here is all over the map (take my word for it), which somehow results in a very ESB-like experience, which is no bad thing, just not in the ballpark that they were going for, I presume.
