12oz tulip at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - so this is made with spruce tips, then? And what's with the hipster name - because that particular greenery predates the Internet?
This beer appears a hazy, medium apricot amber colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some pockmarked limestone wall lace around the glass as it slowly abates.
It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, some muddled domestic citrus rind, a hard water flintiness, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, orange and red grapefruit citrus flesh, a bit of spruce tip acridity, some damp minerality, and more leafy, piney, and herbal verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its workaday frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really spoiling the ongoing party here. It finishes off-dry, the frooty hop essences presiding.
Overall - this is a pleasant enough version of the style, with the apparent spruce tip additions applied by a judicious hand. Crisp, quaffable, and it's always nice to enjoy those extra few gratis ounces when the bar screws up your order.

Spruce tips are fun but the tropical galaxy dry hop weirds this out. Also not as bitter as I would have expected which leaves a bit of spruce after taste which isn't great.
