8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. The first part of their multiple run brew, where they produce progressively stronger offerings from it.

This beer appears a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly bubbly ecru head, which leaves some eroded Hoodoo lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.

It smells lightly of bready and biscuity caramel malt, a faint earthy nuttiness, subtle citrus notes, and some tame leafy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, oily bar-top nuts, muddled dark pome fruit, a bit of wet minerality, and more understated earthy, leafy, and floral green hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any sort of concern here. It finishes trending dry, the malt faltering, while the old-school-seeming hops keep on keepin' on.

Overall - yeah, this one is all right, I guess. Probably true to style, in that it's meant to be consumed in large quantities, without fatiguing one's palate, or liver, for that matter (perhaps I should have had this one before the NEIPA, eh?). Looking forward to the next part of this project.
