16oz pint at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Nice to see more traditional old school lagers being made in Alberta!
This beer appears a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with one finger of weakly puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves a bit of remote islet lace around the glass as things quickly subside.
It smells faintly of gritty and grainy pale malt, a tame generic pome fruitiness, some mild yeasty notes, and very ethereal earthy and leafy noble hops. Yeah, not much on the nose, really. The taste is light bready and doughy pale malt, a further bit of breakfast cereal sweetness, still hard to differentiate stone fruit, an ethereal yeastiness, and more gentle leafy, weedy, and dead floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite understated in its wan-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, I suppose, nothing really messing about here. It finishes off-dry, barely, as the malt has a difficult time not being mistaken for water.
Overall, this is indeed a rather plain and underwhelming version of the style - nothing wrong, brewing-wise, it's just that everything seems like a ghost of what it should be. More flavour, please!
