355ml can (seems like an uncommon packaging format these days, but this isn't exactly craft beer), procured at the brand new Griesbach Co-op location in north Edmonton, who have some pretty good sales, I gotta say.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden straw colour, with three chubby fingers of puffy, foamy, and somewhat chunky bone-white head, which leaves some sparse streaky lace around the glass as it relatively quickly evaporates.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, generic corn-based breakfast cereal, white grape juice, a further indistinct melon fruitiness, and very faint earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery cereal malt, rather sweet berry fruit, a hint of petrol, and more well-understated leafy, herbal, and estery floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with an emerging, if hard to pinpoint bitterness making a minor dent in the proceedings. It finishes off-dry, the frooty malt keeping the home fires burning.
Overall - not really in line with the better examples of the style, as if the brewers might have tried something from Prague at one time, but realized that they were creating an inexpensive house brand, and proceeded to cut as many corners as their collective consciences and shareholders would allow for. Lawnmower beer. But I don't have a lawnmower any longer.
