355ml can - I don't know why craft breweries try to make this style, it has to be one of the most boring ones out there.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat bubbly ecru head, which leaves a few instances of volcano ejecta lace around the glass as it slowly dissipates.
It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, sweet white grape juice, a bit of mint spiciness, and some mild earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is biscuity and grainy caramel malt, some indistinct light fruitiness, a hint of free-range char, faint metallic spice, and more tame leafy, weedy, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, nothing really going out of its way to cause trouble here. It finishes off-dry, all malty this, and malty that.
Overall - this comes across much more like an Alberta Blonde Ale of late, with that heady local craft barley flavour abounding, making it bear little resemblance to the big names in the field, especially y'all know who. That said, I can now proclaim that this is actually pretty good, easy to drink, and enjoyable.
