355ml can poured into tulip 24/7/17

a hazy amber liquid with a short lived finger of foam that leaves some random lace where it lasted

S weedy, citrus peel, caramel and butterscotch might be a hint of diacetyl but hinders nothing, some weird musty grains I'm guessing the oatmeal

T rind and pine comes out, still weedy, reminds me of biting into a plant, kinda odd but it works

M very soft and creamy stopping short of foam, oily and slick, mild bitter bite, spicy piney finish just keeps going

O spicy plants somehow works, lots of flavor for a lightweight and goes down easy

One of those beers where I can't pinpoint the hops vs malt, maybe its oatmeal outside of a dark beer throwing me off?

355ml can - an ode to long-time Calgary homebrewer and homebrew shop owner Neil Bamford. Now I know who this guy is, as he's always showing up on my 'suggested' Twitter feed.

This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden amber colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, rocky, and somewhat bubbly ecru head, which leaves some decent frilly lace around the glass as it slowly but surely abates.

It smells of orange and red grapefruit flesh, wet stone paths after a rainstorm, gritty and grainy caramel malt, further breakfast cereal notes, and some mild leafy, floral, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, cold oatmeal, generic grapefruit and lemon/lime peel, a small earthy flintiness, and more weedy, piney, and musky floral verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly low-key in its milquetoast frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and quite smooth, yet with a bit of hop acridity floating about, looking for a place to happen. It finishes off-dry, the malt and citrusy elements carrying on like 'twas no big thing.

Overall, this is a very pleasant, hopped-up pale ale, with the venerable ol' Cascade varietal showing that it still can bring the goods, while the oatmeal contributes the expected silkiness. Tasty, easy to drink, and yes, highly sessionable for all yer patio needs this summer (at least until that late afternoon thunderstorm arrives...).
