650ml bottle, the latest in Grizzly Paw's #622 Main Street series, which was brewed at their original downtown Canmore location.
This beer pours a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with one skinny-ass finger of weakly foamy, and mostly just bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some decent broadly cobwebbed lace around the glass as things slowly progress.
It smells of gritty, grainy pale malt, wet white saltine crackers, a certain gasohol astringency, muddled light orchard fruit, and leafy, dead grassy, and somewhat musty hops. The taste is a steady grainy, crackery pale malt, white wine lees, more yeast-shaped question marks, fading petrol notes, and some still underwhelming wet leafy, earthy, and dirty, rather than crisp and grassy, hop bitters.
The carbonation is fairly understated in its plain and hard to make a fuss about frothiness, the body a genial middleweight, and mostly smooth, that yeasty gas pump thing kind of stepping on a few toes here as well. It finishes dry, generally, the malt sloughing off any extra sweetness it may or may not have possessed, while the hops take this as a sign to keep on mailing it in.
Yeah, I'm only classifying this as a Czech-style pilsener because of the obvious name on the label in front of me - otherwise, this one would be tossed onto the wannabe German gas-light pile - i.e gassy, and light, but not in a way that works for anybody - at least not me. Anyways, a focus on crispness all around, from malt to hop, would be a good start at remedying things next time around.
