16oz pint at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - apparently the first place in Alberta outside of Grand Prairie where this brewery's wares are available. Given my family connections and hobby predilections, I've only missed out on trying this stuff, um, twice now - third time the charm?
This beer appears a very murky, very dark orange-brick tinted brown colour, with one rather thin finger of wispy and bubbly off-white 'head', which leaves absolutely nothing in the way of lace anywhere near the glass as things gently seep away.
It smells of lightly toasted, gritty and grainy caramel malt, singed and bruised bananas, a touch of random fruity meatiness, some subtle earthy yeastiness, and very tame leafy and floral hoppiness. The taste is bready and mildly doughy caramel malt, some timid free-range smokiness, bananas Foster, still stuck in the mud yeast (like the poor duck I read to my son about at bedtime), and more unheralded leafy and earthy noble hop bitterness.
The carbonation is average in its plain and yet supportive frothiness, the body an adequate medium weight, and sort of smooth, as the yeast and otherwise innocuous smoke have some unfortunate purvey here. It finishes off-dry, the basic malt and bland fruitiness holding court.
Overall, this seems like something on the spectrum between home brew, and yer Weihenstephaners or Ayingers of the world. Lots of improvement required here, but that's not to say that this isn't drinkable and enjoyable - it is. Vaguely constructive criticism, and all that.
