OK, Alberta beer fans. Here is a beautiful, mildly citrusy DIPA with a heavy duty ABV. Everything is tied together - malt, frothy carbonation, firm mouthfeel. Prairie Pirate lives up to its understated hype in an oh so satisfying way.

650ml bottle - awesome to see this um, prairie brewery kickin' out a DIPA to complement its stellar Lone Bison IPA. I dare you to say this one's name ten times fast, yeah? Oh, and by the by, I didn't realize that Last Best was now a hop distributor.
This beer pours a rather murky medium apricot amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky beige head, which leaves some stellar layered cirrus cloud form lace around the glass as it lazily recedes.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, some pleasant domestic citrus rind, a solid hard water flintiness, and some further leafy, weedy, and estery floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, a bit of biscuity caramel sweetness, wet saltine crackers, citrus-based vodka, a bit of indistinct tropical fruitiness, and more heady leafy, piney, and gently perfumed floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite active in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a solid medium-heavy weight, and generally smooth, but for a wee twinge of alcohol ingress. It finishes off-dry, but more or less balanced between malt, uppity hops, and a somewhat edgy boozy warming.
Overall - this is a pretty enjoyable big brother to the aforementioned 'basic' IPA, with all the chutzpah that is usually part of the typical upgrade package. Well rounded, and as cheekily noted, stupidly easy to put back, especially considering the 8.8 points of laid-back ABV insanity. Great, great stuff.
