473ml can - a 17-Pounder was apparently a big artillery shell used by the Allies in WWII. The point of the name is that when the brewery moved to the 'Brewery District' in Edmonton earlier this year, they found out that their location was actually 17 feet outside the properly zoned area, leading to a lot of City Hall bullshit, from the sounds of it.
This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some decent cobweb pattern lace around the glass as it very slowly dissipates.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some orange, red grapefruit, and lemon citrus rind, a stoney flintiness, and some plain leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, mixed domestic citrus peel, a damp minerality, and more understated earthy, musty, and piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly subtle in its milquetoast frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time at this point in the game. It finishes off-dry, the malt and fading frooty notes putting down roots in the lingering state.
Overall - yeah, the hops kind of punch in, and then clock out early in this offering. It's still well-made, but the aforementioned fact kind of makes the name here seem a tad overwrought. At any rate, I'm glad that they finally got their permits, or whatever, and are brewing downtown.
