8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - a much better deal than the expensive bombers that accompanied it here to Alberta.
This beer appears a slightly hazy, medium bronzed amber colour, with one skinny finger of weakly puffy, loosely foamy, and wispy off-white head, which leaves a few instances of Ogopogo profile lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of tart red apples, grainy and bready cereal malt, a bit of musty yeastiness, and some tame earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is underripe apples, bready and grainy caramel malt, slightly funky yeast, and more well understated earthy, herbal, and musty floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, as the sour esters seem to be of the non-intrusive sort here. It finishes off-dry, the gently tart fruitiness and lingering malt running the after party.
Overall - this comes across as much more of a simple red ale than a particularly sour one, and the fruity character is actually quite pleasant, after a spell. Not the most complex example out there, but a genial enough gateway offering, I would imagine.
