16oz glass at the Alberta Beer Week 2016 tap takeover (Alberta beer, not just Dandy, that is) at Beer Revolution DTYEG - waitaminute - does Dandy actually make a lager?
This beer appears a murky, medium apricot amber colour, with a mere thin cap of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some sparse and stringy streaked lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of fruity and biscuity caramel/toffee malt, some earthy yeastiness, and rather subtle noble hops. The taste is sweet breakfast biscuits, a sugary apple and pear fruitiness, grainy caramel, a hint of indistinct spice, further bland tropical fruit, and very tame earthy and leafy hops,
The carbonation is on the low side, with a very spare frothiness, the body fairly smooth and even a bit creamy at times. It finishes still quite sweet and maybe a tad cloying - all softly biscuity malt and fruity esters.
Overall, this is not a particularly bang-on version of the style - the suspected ale yeast will have the certain effect on a lager. That's what I'm getting - an altbier or English mild ale sort of experience - I suppose when you choose to churn out something fast for the current season, corners, they will be cut.
