16oz Yankee pint at Beer Revolution in downtown Edmonton west, adjacent to the 'new' Brewery District. Anyways.
This beer appears a clear, bright medium bronzed amber colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves some melting frozen windshield lace around the glass as things slowly recede.
It smells of bready and biscuity caramel malt, a hint of generic toffee, muddled domestic citrus rind, faint yeast esters, a hard water flintiness, and very tame earthy, leafy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, brewing yeast, ethereal dried citrus peel, wet stones, and more underwhelming leafy, weedy, and musky floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its plebeian frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with just a minor indistinct hop acridity fussing about here. It finishes off-dry, but trending towards the latter - that building generic bitterness the cause/culprit.
Overall, this just comes across as a nearly hot (so, warm, then) mess of a version of the style - whether it be American or English, it matters not. I'm not kidding, but the predominant flavour I get is the sense of being in a homebrew shop. Yeah - pay attention next time that you're in one.
