14oz glass at this brewery's tap takeover at the Common in downtown Edmonchuk.
This beer appears a clear, bright medium bronzed amber colour, with a mere thin cap of wispy and ephemeral off-white head, which leaves absolutely nothing in the way of lace anywhere near the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of grainy and biscuity pale malt, a very understated white cheese funkiness, mixed peppercorn dust, a touch of wan light orchard fruitiness, and maybe a hint of leafy and floral hop acridity. The taste is grainy breakfast cereal, hard to pin down, but you know that it's there sour funk (the best of a bad situation, IMHO), further neutered yeasty notes, a faded generic fruitiness, and more true to form, weak earthy and leafy hops.
The carbonation is fairly low-key in its plain and barely supportive frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, that purported beastie not infringing here, it would appear. It finishes off-dry, the cereal-forward malt more or less holding down the fort.
Overall, a pleasantly innocuous pale ale - if the presence of Brettanomyces wasn't stated in the name, I might not have even noticed it here. OK, I would have, but instead attributed it to a brewing flaw of the physical sort, as opposed to the intended conceptual variety.
