8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square.

This beer appears a hazy, medium bronzed amber colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves a bit of streaky cirrus cloud pattern lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of funky Brett, gritty and grainy cereal malt, a bit of hard water flintiness, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is musty funk, wet barrel staves, grainy and crackery pale malt, a further earthy yeastiness, some damp minerality, and more understated herbal, leafy, and floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, except for M. Brett's presence. It finishes trending dry, the malt and muddled funkiness presiding.

Overall - yeah, I'm sort of ruing purchasing this offering, as I wasn't expecting the barrel treatment to be all about the funk - nothing really indicated that in the name.
