16oz pint at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Apparently this was made exclusively for the brewery's 'street kitchen' restaurant in Vancouver, yet it shows up here - thanks P49 rep!
This beer appears a hazy, medium apricot yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent melting glacier lace around the glass as things quickly progress.
It smells of fresh-squeezed orange juice, white grapefruit rind, bready and doughy caramel malt, a bit of hard water flintiness, and some lesser earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is muddled domestic citrus flesh, simple syrup, grainy and bready caramel malt, a damp minerality, and more leafy, floral, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly restrained in its lackadaisical frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and genuinely smooth, with a wee airy creaminess creeping in as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the juiciness really exhibiting a fervent lingering backbone.
Overall - Hazy Train is a pretty bang-on version of this sub-style of the venerable Yankee IPA, with lots of simple domestic citrus goodness. The engaging bartendress here says that this offering makes Ozzy's 'Crazy Train' get stuck in her head. For me, it's close: 'It's the same old desire, crazy train, crazy train'.
