8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. A 'session' brew coming in at 6% ABV? Must be from Fort Mac - I kid, I kid!
This beer appears a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves some dissolving ice shelf lace around the glass as things quickly progress.
It smells of bready and crackery pale malt, a touch of free-range ashiness, some subtle dark orchard fruitiness, and very tame earthy, leafy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, wet char, a bit of lager yeast, some oily nuttiness, bruised apples and pears, and more understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with just the char taking things down a notch or so here. It finishes off-dry, the nutty malt character predominating.
Overall - this is a pleasant enough smoky dark lager, well-flavoured, and easy to put back. Too bad that I don't have the time or the wherewithal to investigate any so-called sessionable qualities inherent in this offering.
