16oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Not much more info available about this one at this time.

This beer appears a hazy, medium apricot amber colour, with a thin cap of wispy and faintly bubbly off-white head, which leaves a few instances of streaky coral reef lace around the glass as things slowly progress.

It smells of juicy tropical fruit (could be passionfruit, I suppose), bready and doughy cereal malt, a bit of earthy yeastiness, and some faint leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, more indistinct exotic fruity notes (I should really buy and eat a passionfruit one of these days), some hard water flintiness, faded estery yeast, and more well understated earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite ethereal in its barely-there frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, in the manner of packaged fruit juice. It finishes off-dry, the malt and muddled fruit character lingering as if in a vacuum.

Overall - this is a pleasant enough version of the style, not too sweet or at all cloying. A suitable patio quaff, I would imagine, once the nice weather becomes a tad more consistent, that is.
