650ml bottle - their first fresh hop brew, made with Origin Malt and Pair-O-Dice hops, which I guess leaves the yeast as the 'heavily Alberta influenced' outlier, eh?
This beer pours a clear, medium golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, loosely foamy, and rather bubbly ecru head, which leaves a decent band of frilly lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, some indistinct red berry fruitiness, further mild citrusy notes, an ethereal hard water flintiness, and some tame leafy, weedy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, a mixed bowl of citrus and generic berry fruity essences, some damp minerality, and more understated earthy, herbal, and wet grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation is pretty weak in its innocuous seeming frothiness, the body a more or less solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a nice airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, that breakfast table nature of the local malt really stealing the lingering show.
Overall - this is a pleasant enough offering, but it seems to be more about the Alberta malt, than any particular fresh hop experience. Not a bug, per se, but a feature - isn't that the trendy saying and attitude in today's world?
