20oz pint at the U of A campus location - this is a collaboration between Wild Rose and the Original Joe's restaurant chain. Cool name for an Alberta brew, I gotta say.
This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber hue, with one thick finger of puffy, thinly foamy off-white head, which leaves some decent dripping paint job lace around the glass as it slowly sinks away.
It smells of dank pine needles, orange and white grapefruit rind, gritty and crackery pale malt, a touch of tropical fruit, and further leafy, weedy hops. The taste is semi-sweet pale malt, a bit of caramel, edgy citrus peel, astringent forest flora bitters, and a hint of warming alcohol.
The carbonation is a tad fizzy in its generally frothy renderings, the body a decent medium weight, and kind of tight, which cuts a large swath across its basic smoothness. It finishes fairly dry, the fruitiness of the lingering hops not capable of overcoming its bitterness duality.
A pleasant, and well-made Yankee-style APA, the hops being the main talking point here. Not sure where the 'prairies' component comes in here (maybe the malt?), but I could easily see sessioning a few rounds or so of this, were I to find myself once again in this old haunt of mine, for longer than a brief TGIF (and new phone test-run) experience.
