16oz pint at Beer Revolution YEG, during their Fernie Brewing tap takeover event.
This beer appears a clear, glassy medium copper amber hue, with one fat finger of puffy, tightly foamy dirty white head, which renders some stellar patches of snow rime lace around the glass as things dip away.
It smells faintly of biscuity, bready caramel and pale malt, a slight lemon rind astringency, and earthy, leafy hops - kind of weak. The taste is semi-sweet grainy caramel malt, lightly buttered toast, apple and dried orange fruitiness, a flinty minerality, and soft leafy, somewhat weedy hops.
The bubbles are fairly understated, maybe even to the point of bailing on their support payments, the body on the wan side of medium weight, and a bit clammy in its smoothness. It finishes off-dry, the bready caramel malt sort of listing about, looking for a place to happen.
While not lacking in general flavour, I found the pithy, weak-kneed mouthfeel the hardest thing to stomach, which wasn't even that big of a deal. It just seems like the sass and freshness of a stand-up Marzen has been drained out of this one, which is too bad, because I'm mostly fond of Fernie's broad array of offerings.
