16oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG - no other info available out there on this brew, except for untapped, so, y'know.
This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some sparse snow rime lace around the glass as things quickly subside.
It smells of bready, doughy caramel malt, a twinge of rye grain astringency, buttered biscuits, and weak leafy, earthy hops. The taste is gritty, grainy caramel and rye malt, a small pome and generic citrus fruitiness, buttery whole wheat toast, hints of savoury table-top pepper mill spice, and a plain earthy, leafy, and somewhat herbal hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its generally supportive and taciturn frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and smooth, sure, but with a tacky pithiness growing as things slowly warm. It finishes off-dry, the caramel-trending malt kind of pushing out the guest rye.
Overall, a drinkable version of a beer style that I'm in no particular hurry to get into (and the craze over that new Crown Royal whisky isn't helping), in the sense of minimizing the rye astringencies. Not to mention, that buttery thing would get old quickly too, methinks.
