650ml bottle - a 'Canadian Cereal Ale', with no further info about the beer on the label, so I'm just taking a wild stab at the style here.
This beer pours a hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with four flabby fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some decent striated stringy lace around the glass as it slowly sinks out of sight.
It smells of grainy and crackery cereal (duh) malt, a bit of white grape juice, subtle earthy yeast, and very plain leafy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, bready and doughy pale malt, some further mixed graininess, muddled domestic fruit, ethereal yeast, and more understated earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly low-key in its workaday frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time here. It finishes off-dry, the big grainy malt hard to beat in its lingering prowess.
Overall - yup, the focus is certainly on the malt in this offering, and I believe that I got the BA listing more or less correct (though this could pass for a Kölsch, what with that minor yeasty character). Simple, and easy to put back, like the champ that I am, right, Grizzly Paw marketing department?
