This is an enjoyable rendition of one of my favorite beer styles. The malt forward flavor trends to sweet, with hints of coffee. It is a really tasty Alt, best enjoyed on a lovely fall day!

1L howler from Sherbrooke liquor store - who apparently couldn't look up this one's actual name. LMGTFY.
This beer pours a clear, dark red-brick brown colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves some stellar thickly webbed lace around the glass as things evenly sink away.
It smells of bready and crackery caramel malt, a none-too-subtle earthy nuttiness, further mixed Alberta prairie-bred cereals, a hint of day-old coffee, and some rather tame leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, wet generic crackers, muddled pome fruity notes, a bit of free-range ashiness, and more understated earthy, musty, and dead floral 'verdant' hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its basic cable frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and more or less smooth, with very little getting in the way of a swell time here. It finishes off-dry, the robust malt (a trend of late in our fair province) winning the lingering day.
Overall - this is a pleasant enough rendition of the style, one made with 100% Alberta Red Shed malt, and it pretty much shows throughout the affair. Not much else to report, I suppose, because the Wild Rose Country farm to brewery force is quite strong in this one, and I'm not referring to hop trellises.
