16oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver.
This beer appears a mostly clear, pale golden yellow colour, with one finger of weakly foamy, and generally bubbly dirty white head, which leaves little beyond some surface tension berm lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of bready, doughy pale malt, a small caramel sweetness, muddled drupe orchard fruit, earthy yeast, and weedy, leafy, and grassy hops. The taste is grainy pale malt, white grape juice, doughy yeast, understated apple and Bartlett pear fruity notes, and leafy, grassy, and slightly floral hops.
The carbonation is quite active in its swirling frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, but a tad clammy in its otherwise acceptable smoothness. It finishes fairly off-dry, the doughy malt and lingering fruitiness running the proverbial table.
Not a bad brew, of the lagered persuasion, but perhaps a bit too sweet overall to engender in me the desire to recommend it afar. Better than your typical macro plonk, fer sho, but a few more iterative tweaks are necessary to bring this up to even Brewsters' quality level, I'd have to say.
