473ml can at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - the 2018 Unity Brew. I'm assuming that it was made at Blindman, unless there's another brewery in Lacombe of which I am unaware.
This beer pours a clear, dark orange-brick brown colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves some decent streaky and layered lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of grainy and biscuity cereal malt, some earthy nuttiness, muddled black stone fruity notes, some hard water flintiness, and very tame leafy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy caramel malt, oily bar-top nuts, bruised pome fruit, and more well-understated earthy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its structurally sound frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a collectively good time here. It finishes trending dry, the malt kind of murmuring on the way out the door.
Overall - I know that the Alberta Brewers intended to show off our province's strengths, and they do, but a bit more bittering offset would be welcome to this trainspotter. Worth checking out, I suppose, especially if you don't have to pay for a 4-pack of it.
