20oz pint at the restaurant/brewpub in downtown Canmore. Cool name for the given style - is it the victors or the losers drinking this stuff?
This beer appears a crystal clear, medium copper amber colour, with a weak meniscus of wispy, and faintly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a wee bit of remote islet lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of weirdly fruity, pale sugary malt, a none-too subtle nail polish remover astringency, a further bit of wet white breadiness, and tame weedy, leafy hops. The taste is again rather fruity, like actual apple and berry adjuncts were employed, over a generic grainy pale and caramel malt, softly phenolic yeast, ethereal noble hops, and understated cold steely alcohol.
The bubbles are quite underwhelming in their barely perceptible frothiness, the body a more or less solid middleweight, and somewhat smooth, that still silly fruitiness aiding and abetting. It finishes sweet, but in a strangely moderated sense - that acetone essence unfortunately the foil.
Not the best version of the style, as the combination of the unexpected fruit character, and the stereotypical cheap alcohol don't do this one any favours. Kind of hard to put back, now that I really think about it.
