355ml can - number 3 in this experiment in Alberta barley 'terroir'.

This beer pours a slightly hazy, pink-tinged, pale straw colour, with two fingers of puffy, caked, and mildly fizzy dirty white head, which leaves a few instances of cannonball splash aftermath lace around the glass as it quickly dissipates.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, toasted white crackers, some indistinct acrid fruitiness, gently soured yeast, and plain earthy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, cooked apples and pears, ethereal yeast, a further understated cereal graininess, and more weak earthy, herbal, and leafy green hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly meek in its perfunctory frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, with a minor pithiness arising as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the ephemeral sour essence going up against the big lingering maltitude.

Overall - well, if I had to indicate the outlier in the group, number 3 would be it. The graininess just seems, um, different. Hey, I am definitely more adept at differentiating hop subtleties than those in malt. More research is definitely required before I can even attempt to answer the 'Where Am I?' questions three.
