8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Made with white wine, I presume.

This beer appears a hazy, pale golden straw colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves a few instances of streaky coral reef lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of white wine lees, gritty and grainy cereal malt, faint domestic citrus peel, and a touch of earthy spiciness. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a lesser biscuity wheatiness, green grapes, further generic citrus rind, a soft yeastiness, faded black pepper spice, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral noble hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its structurally supportive frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a suggestion of yeasty intransigence making a dent in the surface sheen here. It finishes trending dry, the malt sort of giving up the ghost in its lingering state.

Overall - this is a pleasant enough version of the style, with the white wine part of the deal applied with a spare touch. Simple, and easy to put back on a super sunny and warm afternoon in my burg's downtown.
