Pretty good for a common which is just not a style I love. Malt forward but not overly astringent with slight fruitiness nd pretty crisp and smooth.

355ml can - a collaboration with fellow Calgarians Trolley No. 5. Cool name, I gotta say!
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent webbed lace around the glass as it slowly sinks away.
It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, mildly estery yeast, some faint pome fruitiness, and very tame earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery cereal malt, a spicy yeastiness, muddled apples and pears, and more understated leafy, weedy, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, but for a sense of wayward yeasty notes maybe not playing well with the local children here. It finishes trending dry, the biscuity character really showing some lingering oomph.
Overall - this is a pleasant enough rendition of the style, with the craft Alberta malt profile really coming through. Crisp, and easy to put back, which is not something that I typically utter about 'Steam Beer' (suck it, Anchor!), so maybe this one should be checked out by more of y'all.
