355ml can - a brew inspired by the Red Deer Rebels, who play Major Junior hockey in the WHL.
This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and fairly fizzy tan head, which leaves a bit of boiling cauldron profile lace around the glass as it slowly but surely dissipates.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some rather tart-seeming generic citrus rind, hints of day-old coffee grounds, and some leafy, herbal, and spicy green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, ethereal domestic citrus peel, somewhat acrid coffee beans, an oily nuttiness, some damp minerality, and more understated earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is kind of meek in its milquetoast frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a minor aerosol creaminess growing as things warm up a tad out of the ol' basement bar fridge. It finishes off-dry, that Alberta cereal malt character predominating.
Overall - this comes across as a straight-up malty affair, as the hops peak early, hardly to be detected after a spell. At any rate, there's still lots of flavour, but not much in the way of balance, as claimed in the marketing blurb. If that's your thing, hit the ice and go find some.
