650ml bottle - brewed by Sean Bieri, from Wetaskiwin, Alberta.
This beer pours a clear, dark orange-brick brown colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some stellar exploded Swiss cheese wheel pattern lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, some orange, red grapefruit, and lemon citrus peel, faint bittersweet cocoa powder, a bit of earthy nuttiness, and some plain leafy, weedy, and piney green hops. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, a further indistinct berry fruitiness, medium chocolate wafers, a damp minerality, and more understated leafy, herbal, and resinous piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-satisfying frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with just a touch of wet char getting in the way of the ideal at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt and mixed frooty essences staffing the lingering after-party.
Overall - this is an earnest enough stab at the hybrid style, with lots of varied flavours. It also doesn't smack ya over the head with the smoke, which is always appreciated around here. Anyways, nice to see a new brewer showing off their chops in a commercial setting.
