650ml bottle, part of a mixed 4-pack of bombers to make their way out of Grande Prairie - 'perfect patio pairing' boasts the label - yeah, not right now, boyo!

This beer pours a fairly clear, medium golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and creamy bone-white head, which leaves a bit of randomly-scattered paramecia lace around the glass as it gradually subsides.

It smells of bready and doughy wheat malt, a lesser biscuity caramel sweetness, sort of edgy yeast, some applesauce and mushy pear fruitiness, gently spicy clove and black peppercorn, and very tame earthy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is fairly saccharine grainy and bready caramel malt, some fading cereal-like wheatiness, wan yeasty notes, muddled pome and citrus fruity esters, a hint of mixed pepper spiciness, and more weak leafy, earthy, and musty noble hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite active in its palate-tickling frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and more or less smooth, maybe a touch of wayward son yeastiness taking the luster off of things here. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt, fruity character, and lingering spice all playing nice and friendly together.

Overall, this is a pleasant enough rendition of the style, all the points pretty much hit upon, to one degree or another. And yes, the good-to-go fruity essences would aid and abet a number of rounds on a summer afternoon spent sitting outside under a brewery logo-strewn umbrella.
