Get Thy Bearings
Blindman Brewing

8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square.

This beer appears a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves a few instances of forked lightning lace around the glass as things slowly progress.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some muddled domestic citrus rind, a hard water flintiness, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, blood orange and red grapefruit citrus flesh, a damp minerality, and more earthy, leafy, and piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly benign in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and sort of smooth, as the hop treatment kind of gets in the way here. It finishes trending dry, the hops holding the lingering cards.

Overall - this comes across as a pleasantly rendered version of the style, with nothing to add to the conversation, by the same sword. Easy to drink, and with a well sublimated big-boy ABV. Worth checking out, especially if ya don't have to do it the Common way.
