16oz glass, at Beer Rev YEG, where the sales spiel for this is 'it's for the kids'. Heya!
This beer appears a clear, rather dark brown cola colour, with one skinny finger of moderately frothy and bubbly beige head, which leaves a decent array of snow rime lace around the glass as things slowly subside.
It smells of lightly toasted, biscuity and bready pale and caramel malt, a generic oily nuttiness, faint hints of sassy dark fruit, and mild earthy, leafy hops. The taste is very lightly roasted bready caramel malt, wet English muffins, a still hard to nail down, but agreeably peppy nut character (more later about 'pecans'), a slight hard water flintiness, and even tamer earthy, kind of floral hops.
The bubbles are fairly plain and innocuous throughout, the body a sturdy medium weight, and mostly smooth, just a wee charred astringency mucking a bit with things here. It finishes off-dry, the caramel and nutty sweetness doing well to linger and loiter, like those kids outside the designated smoking doors, amirite?
A heck of a start (at least as far as my experience with them is concerned), for this nascent teaching brewery, out of Alberta's preeminent Aggie community college. I'll only pick on this offering because my Dad's birthday 'cake' for many years was actually pecan pie, so I know that nut when I come across it, and kiddies, this ain't it. Doesn't mean that this isn't a commendable example of a new-world brown ale, however.
