Not a bad beer, but I liked the label better.

Picked up this lovely looking can with the great label art at a new craft beer store in Airdrie called Thumbprint.

A: Poured into my tulip glass a hazy light iced tea colour with a bright white large bubbled head. Looks lovely.

S: Even upon cracking the tab just a bit I was hit with huge, metallic hops, lots of green apple, bubblegum, guava and definitely pear. Nice, but I'm not getting much in the way of a Belgian feel at all. Still, some lovely hoppy bursts.

T: Tons of green apple and pear. Surprisingly some of the booze is coming out in the flavour, and it reminds me now of some Belgian spiced ales I've had. Wow, so much green apple and bubblegum. Yeah, tastes a lot more Belgian influenced than the aroma was letting on. I really had to warm it up a bit and let it sit for a while before the Belgian yeast and candy notes started coming through. It's even got some mint flavour now. Hey, tasty stuff. Better than the aroma had me prepared for.

M: Medium. Just right for the style actually. Medium carbonation and a nice dryness at the back end, but nothing even close to the hop bombs. Smooth, easy to quaff.

O: I'd buy this again for sure. It reminds me of some Unibroue fruit ales. Loads and loads of green apples and pear, so if you like the sweet fruits and a bit of a candy tartness with substantial hopping, it's great.

473ml can, a collaboration with fellow Lotusland brewery Four Winds, wherein a Belgian Farmhouse Ale meets a Northeast IPA.

This beer pours a slightly hazy, yet bright medium golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, rocky, and chunky bone-white head, which leaves some splendid layered sudsy lace around the glass as it swiftly subsides.

It smells of musty and gently funky yeast, bready and crackery pale malt, some lemon and white grapefruit zest fruitiness, a hint of hard water flintiness, mild earthy spices, and more understated leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, a lesser caramel sweetness, moderately funky and spicy yeast, domestic citrus pith, ethereal stoney notes, and some consistent earthy, leafy, and musky floral verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-teasing frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a bit of wayward yeast thumbing its nose at the hops for culpability here. It finishes trending dry, the yeast and gritty malt seeing us on out.

Overall, this is really more of a mildly hoppy Farmhouse-style ale, than any equal joining of worlds. The juicy, stoney, and forest floor character of the NE IPA gets schooled, essentially, and I'm betting that the guest brewer is to 'fault' in this case. Good, for sure, but not really an IPA.
