16oz glass at Beer Revolution Oliver Square Edmonton. Seems to be the only place to get this in Alberta at the moment - I'm sure that will change next week or so.
This beer appears a slightly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, very loosely foamy, and wispy off-white head, which leaves some thick cobweb lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of bready and grainy pale malt, a mixed pome fruitiness, hints of generic citrus rind, and faint leafy and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and cereal-forward pale malt, underripe apples and pears, muddled citrus flesh, a suggestion of ephemeral yeastiness, and more tame leafy, weedy, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its average frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with perhaps a wee fruity astringency taking the sheen off of things here. It finishes trending dry, as the malt bleeds out, and the hop and fruity edginess carries on carrying on.
Overall, this is a well made version of the style, which implies a simple, clean brew, and this one is indeed that. Nothing fancy, just an easy-drinking, no nonsense tipple, a trait that we all could use a bit more of lately.

Lovely head, smell, and taste. A sessionable beer that has quality. 3 or 4 down before you even realize

Served On-Tap @ Steel & Oak
A — Looks nice in the glass, a nice clear and bright yellowy hue. There is a nice white head that sits on-top of the beer and leaves behind some really nice and consistent rings of lace along the inside of the glass with each sip.
S — Smell is fairly mild, not a whole lot going on here, but there are some nice mild notes of malt and some lightly sweet and fruity hops.
T — Dry notes of lightly bitter hops, a very light malt base, really unassuming overall with just faint notes of malt and hops. Nothing overpowers another, but nothing really comes to the forefront either.
M — Light in body, easy drinking.
O — Okay overall, really tough to put in one style though. Drinks like an absurdly hoppy cream ale or a super mild pale ale.
