8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - so Longship is now a blonde ale? I thought this entry was bullshit (given who added it), but I guess it's real.
This beer appears a clear, pale golden straw colour, with a thin cap of wispy and faintly bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some random streaky cirrus cloud pattern lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of bready and grainy cereal malt, green grapes, applesauce, a mild earthy yeastiness, and some plain leafy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and crackery pale malt, a muddled pome fruitiness, some tame musty yeast, and more well-understated earthy, leafy, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a genial creaminess evolving as things progress. It finishes trending dry, the malt bottoming out, with very little else to take up the lingering slack.
Overall - this is an agreeable enough version of a typically wan style, at least in this observer's estimation. Crisp, easy to drink on a hot summer day, I suppose, but there just needs to be a tad more hoppy character to make me want any more of this.
