20oz pint at the North Edmonton location. I didn't want to do it this way, i.e. add it to the contract brewery, instead of the 'brand owner', but after 9 months, I just don't give a shit anymore.
Anyways, this beer pours a clear, medium golden amber colour, with one fat finger of puffy, thinly foamy off-white head, which leaves a bit of snow rime lace around the glass as it quickly abates.
It smells of bready caramel malt, a touch of sassy biscuit, subdued generic citrus, faint pine and leafy notes, all before a heady floral, perfume-tainted essence arises. The taste is semi-acrid citrus pith, wet pine cleanser-scrubbed floor, gritty soaked white cracker malt, and dry Wonderbread.
The carbonation is fairly edgy, for the most part, the body a middling medium weight, with a boring smoothness, i.e. one that possesses little to nothing to talk about. It finishes mostly dry, with a flat green and citrusy hoppiness.
An unsurprisingly (though I harboured high hopes upon crossing this establishment's threshold for the first time) bland, uninspiring IPA, like a beer moving backwards, and bitter in the wrong sense - more ESB-like, really. For such an enabling suburban chain, tho, drinkable, I suppose, with their agreeable enough lunchtime 'za.
