473 mL can from the LCBO; dated Feb 16 2023 and served slightly chilled.
Pours pale golden-orange with a hazy, translucent body; nearly three fingers of pillowy, foamy white head erupts from the surface, lasting for the better part of ten minutes. By that point, a quarter-inch cap of lumpy, soapy suds still remains, with a glorious coat of sticky, webby lacing having been deposited onto the glass. The aroma is mildly citrusy, offering up notes of lemon, orange zest & blood orange, together with subtle hints of wheaty malts, cereal sweetness and floral, piney hops.
A very solid wheat ale: the citrus additions are more of an accent, rather than the focus. It tastes of orange peel, bready wheat and grainy sweetness, with blood orange peaking by mid-sip. Afterwards, it's wheat, wheat, wheat through to the finish, interrupted only by a hint of floral, pithy hop bitterness; lingering hints of citrus zest and grain husk carry into the aftertaste. Light in body, with zippy, assertive carbonation that adds some crisp prickliness to this wheat ale's smooth mouthfeel.
Final Grade: 3.86, a B+. Prairie Coast is better than your average pale wheat ale, but I wouldn't say it really blew me away. Fantastic visually, with an enticing aroma and nice, wheaty flavours that complement the citrus - the scaffolding for a superb Oberon-type beer is already in place, it's just that the hop profile isn't up to the task. I still really like this beer, and I encourage all Ontario BAs to seek out and try this while it's widely available and still fresh.
