16oz pint at Beer Revolution in downtown Edmonton. Always nice to see more of this honorary Albertan brewery's offerings show up in our fair burg. An Imperial Red Ale, apparently, whose name is somehow related to geothermal energy.

This beer appears a clear (I think), dark orange-brick amber colour, with one skinny finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves some decent pockmarked limestone wall lace around the glass as things evenly recede.

It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, mild domestic citrus and otherwise exotic fruity notes, and some peppy leafy, herbal, and perfumed floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready caramel malt, damp saltine crackers, an ethereal oily nuttiness, faint ashes, some muddled dark stone fruitiness, and more now understated earthy, weedy, and musky floral verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly benign in its plain Jane frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and sort of smooth, as a strange, indeterminate acridity starts to not be all that concerned with concealing itself any longer. It finishes off-dry - malty, fruity, and gently boozy, all.

Overall - I dunno, but I'm just not feeling this one, which I can't justify, as there isn't really anything wrong with it. Things don't pop, for a supposedly hoppy ale, and I suppose that's all that I've got.
