16oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Part of a swath of this brewery's products to recently arrive on Alberta's mighty shores.

This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber colour, with one finger of weakly puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some approaching iceberg profile lace around the glass as it quickly abates.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, and some zingy leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, still hard to parse citrus flesh, a bit of hard water flintiness, ephemeral yeast, and more heady weedy, herbal, and resinous piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, as the hops seem to be of the benevolent sort here. It finishes off-dry, the malt holding fast, while the mixed hops and emerging booziness jockey for lingering position.

Overall - this is an acceptable version of the style, with perhaps a minor dearth in robust hopitude, but it sports its 16-proof alcohol quotient with, at the very least, aplomb. Worth checking out, especially if you are a hop-head, just to suss out the newest game in town.
