1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - not quite sure how this is supposed to be different from the Naked Woodsman.
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, very loosely foamy, and well-bubbly off-white head, which leaves some stellar randomly webbed lace around the glass as it eventually sinks away.
It smells of dank pine resin, further oily green tree notes, muddled domestic citrus rind, some bready and crackery caramel malt, a touch of earthy yeastiness, and more leafy, weedy, and musky floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and biscuity caramel malt, wet pine needles and cones, spruce tips, subtle orange, white grapefruit, and lemon citrus pith, a hint of blended tropical fruit, some mild chalky flintiness, and more earthy, musty, and estery floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, with maybe a bit of hop astringency taking things down a notch or two here. It finishes trending dry, the piney character mixing with the lingering stoney/chalky essences to simply make me yearn for more.
Overall, this is a very well-made pale ale of the current American persuasion - lots of greenery and citrus to keep things rolling right along. Tasty, and easy to drink, as the extra point or so of alcohol is shy as shit, it would seem. Another winner from this leading member of the first wave of the Brave New World of Alberta craft brewing.
