16oz pint at the Terwillegar Original Joe's location - Southside YEG represent!
This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber colour, with one skinny-ass finger of weakly puffy, loosely foamy, and mostly just bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some decent mountain top snow cap profile lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, watery generic citrus rind, mild hard water flinty notes, and some understated leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery pale malt, a much lesser caramel sweetness, further sugary candied essences, indistinct domestic citrus peel, and more weak leafy, grassy, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a minor hop acridity taking things down a notch or so here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and citrus fruit battling a suggestion of lingering hop bitterness.
Overall, I gotta say, this is one of the better versions of this so-called style that I have stumbled across of late - so good on you, Big Rock! Hoppy, without seeming thin or undernourished, this is indeed something that I could see having a number of on the patio, just like back in the day at this establishment's more central kin.
