473ml can - a collaboration with Grain Bin and Hell's Basement, the kicker being that it is apparently a 999km drive from Grand Prairie to Medicine Hat, with a stopover in Lacombe. I wonder what place names (and breweries) one might get from a 666km trip?
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with three pudgy fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some random splotchy and streaky lace around the glass as it evenly evaporates.
It smells of grainy and crackery cereal malt, orange and lemon citrus peel, a muddled earthy spiciness, hints of estery yeast, and some plain leafy, herbal, and grassy hop bitters. The taste is gritty and bready pale malt, a further indistinct graininess, muddled domestic citrus rind, woody cranberries, ephemeral holiday spices, and more well-understated leafy, musty, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with perhaps a wee pithiness pretty much there from the get-go. It finishes trending dry, the citrus and spices exhibiting some lingering influence in the matter.
Overall - well, this is an enjoyable iteration of the style, with the base characteristics merely ramped up for the occasion, as such. Tie in the little Alberta geography lesson, and gentle people, you have yet another winner on your hands.
