8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - something about a 'thin golden line' is percolating in my melon right now.

This beer appears a crystal clear, pale golden yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some decent shoddy paint job pattern lace around the glass as things slowly progress.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a faint pome fruitiness, subtle domestic citrus rind, and ethereal earthy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery pale malt, a plain earthy yeastiness, muted citrus pith, some wet minerality, and more well-understated leafy, herbal, and musty hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, but for a suggestion of unruly yeast character making a dent in the surface sheen here. It finishes trending dry, the malt starting to lose a bit of steam in its lingering state.

Overall - this comes across as a relatively normal (read: bland) version of the style, with nothing really to recommend about it. I don't understand the point of stuff like this, but then again, there's a lot of stuff that I don't understand, apparently.
