355ml can poured into tulip.
Pours a hazy straw yellow with two fingers of loose white head that leaves sudsy blobs of lace as it recedes.
Smells of citrus and green apple sourness, unsalted crackers, faint sour cream, pineapple and gentle piney hoppiness.
Tastes of more crackery wheat malt, tart lemon and apple, muddled unripe tropical fruit, sour cream and more soft fruity, piney hops.
Feels light and perky. Light bodied with fizzy carbonation. Finishes off-dry.
Verdict: Highly recommended. Dangerously refreshing.

1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor - looks like we missed the #5 up here, oh well. Made with Amarillo & Vic Secret hops.
This beer pours a hazy, rather pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some layered splotchy and streaky lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of bready and doughy wheat malt, a touch of sour milkiness, muddled tropical fruit esters, a hint of earthy yeast, and more leafy, herbal, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy, pale and wheaty malt, some fairly tart lemon, lime, apple, and underripe pineapple fruitiness, subtle sour cream astringencies, and more leafy, piney, and herbal hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite robust in its swirling and palate-satiating frothiness, the body a decent middleweight for the style, and equally smooth, the fruity tartness taking its metaphorical foot off the gas for just long enough here. It finishes off-dry, by a smidgen, as the various sour essences kind of coalesce into a benevolent singularity.
Overall, this is yet another very pleasant and engaging kettle-soured ale from this central Alberta brewing concern. The use of trendy Vic Secret hops adds to the complex fruity and forest flora character, which works very well with the general tartness. A welcome salve after the emotional rollercoaster that was CBC's Tragically Hip send-off, wow.
