473ml can - part of a pair of new offerings that fall under their 'Mixed Forecast' sub-brand, an obvious nod to Springtime in Canada.
This beer pours a clear (I believe), dark brown colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and mildly bubbly beige head, which leaves some decent splotchy and sudsy lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.
It smells of roasted, bready and grainy caramel malt, some earthy nuttiness, dry cafe-au-lait, faint cocoa powder, and some well-understated leafy, herbal, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a touch of free-range ashiness, bittersweet chocolate, ethereal stale coffee grounds, oily bar-top nuts, a hint of cold cream, and some still rather meek earthy, musty, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-coddling frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and generally smooth, with just a minor suggestion of char making a small dent in the proceedings here. It finishes off-dry, but not by all that much, as the roasted character seals the deal.
Overall - this comes across as a fairly pleasant version of a dark lager (almost Dunkel-like in its robustness), and quite easy to put back. A few days ago it was Still Snowing in Alberta, so the titular sentiment is not lost on this sportsfan.
