16oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. A collaboration with Ribstone Creek.
This beer appears a clear, bright medium bronzed amber colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves some nice pitted coral reef lace around the glass as things lazily sink away.
It smells of bready caramel malt, biscuity toffee, muddled dark orchard fruit, a bit of earthy yeastiness, and some plain leafy, weedy, and gently perfumed floral green hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, saccharine toffee candies, overripe apples and pears, a lesser generic citrus fruitiness, ethereal yeast, and more understated herbal, grassy, and floral hoppiness. The 14-proof alcohol maintains its manners, for the most part.
The carbonation is fairly benign in its merely supportive frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things warm up a bit. It finishes well off-dry, the malt still big and sturdy, with just enough anonymous offsets to keep this one between the ditches on a Range Road.
Overall, this is certainly reminiscent of the few strong ales that I have had from ol' Albion itself - largely malty, in various ways, with a barely there hoppy contingent. Yet somehow it is drinkable enough, especially during Yuletide, before the dead of winter sets in.
