355ml can - more rustic imagery from this southern Alberta contract brewery (or maybe not, as there is no indication of such on the label).

This beer pours a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some well dissipated pockmarked limestone cliff lace around the glass as things quickly abate.

It smells of grainy and biscuity pale malt, a touch of wet cardboard, mellow hard water notes, a dry pome fruitiness, and some weak earthy, leafy, and dead floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, some very dry breakfast biscuit essences, a faint estery yeastiness, subtle earthy spice, and more tame weedy, leafy, and musty verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its sort of pandering frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and not really all that smooth, as a weird and indistinct edginess takes everything down a notch or so here. It finishes trending dry, in a mildly hard-ass manner.

Overall, this is a rather strange-seeming offering, with a plain enough countenance, one which does not engender any kind of 'hey, maybe come back and try me again' bearing. Yeah, I'm finding it hard to find the words to say how bored I am with this one, if that wasn't already patently clear, cowboy.
