8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - I don't get to this downtown brewery much anymore, as paying to park there sucks. Anyways.

This beer appears a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with one skinny finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some decent approaching storm system profile lace around the glass as things evenly subside.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, juicy domestic citrus peel, some hard water flintiness, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery pale malt, orange and red grapefruit citrus rind, a further indistinct tropical fruitiness, some damp minerality, and more herbal, grassy, and piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its structurally sound frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any sort of stir at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the mixed frooty notes exhibiting some lingering swagger.

Overall - this is a rather pleasantly rendered offering, something that, were I in the market for such a thing, might actually put it to consideration. And I didn't write that because the Oscars are on the screens right now.
