8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square.

This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some solid bonsai tree lace around the glass as things once again slowly sink away.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, some orange and red grapefruit citrus flesh, a hard water flintiness, and more understated leafy, herbal, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, some muddled domestic citrus rind, a damp minerality, and more understated herbal, grassy, and piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its structurally supportive frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with a minor airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and muddled frooty essences predominating.

Overall - this comes across as a pleasantly rendered version of the style, nice and balanced in its IPA quotient. Easy to put back, especially since one doesn't expect this from a Russian operation.
