650ml bottle, one whose label (without really giving up any other pertinent info, like what the hell a pipestone is) proclaims that 'You'll like it'. Um, ok, we'll see about that, cowboy.
This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves some blotchy and sudsy painted lace around the glass as it takes its time bleeding out of sight.
It smells of grainy and lightly toasted pale malt, a bit of cereal (corn, I think) sweetness, muddled domestic citrus rind, ephemeral yeasty notes, and some plain earthy, weedy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is mildly roasted pale and caramel malt, some other graininess which I don't care to analyze, a plain orange/red grapefruit rind acerbity, and more weak leafy, musty, and dead grassy verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite tame in its barely functional frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a pleasant airy creaminess swooping in once things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and bland fruity essences making do.
Overall, this is an agreeable enough version of the style, nice and hoppy in a reserved and easygoing manner. I suppose that I do like it, in the end, even if I'm too lazy to look up what this one's name really means, having recently been removed from my obligation to give a flying fuck about this northwestern Alberta burg.
