1L howler from Keg n Cork, one of the last places for it to be available in YEG, after one hell of a low-key release around the province, at least compared to previous years - good job, guys.
This beer pours a hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat chunky dirty white head, which leaves some random island group lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of gritty and grainy wheat malt, a lesser biscuity caramel sweetness, some mildly phenolic yeastiness, heady rainbow peppercorn spice notes, ephemeral citrus peel, a tame coriander/clove spice character, and weak earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, a further edgy wheatiness, bland earthy yeast, very weak citrus rind, a more heady blended spiciness, and some equally understated leafy, weedy, and floral noble hops.
The carbonation is fairly benign in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and more or less smooth, with nothing really taking the time to mess around here. It finishes off-dry, barely, as the mixed graininess holds a kind of kangaroo court, ironically in this case.
Overall - while not a particularly bad brew, the expectations here were pretty high, and the follow-through is kind of lacking. Add in the weak distribution vector, and man, I'm glad this stuff will be produced somewhere else next year.
