650ml bottle - named after the stretch of green space that runs through the center of Grande Prairie.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium bronzed amber colour, with one flabby finger of puffy, weakly foamy, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves some boiling cauldron profile lace around the glass as it quickly disappears.
It smells of semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, some mixed citrus and pome fruitiness, a hint of wet char, and some plain earthy, leafy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery cereal malt, a bit of biscuity toffee squares, still muddled dark fruity notes, some wispy smokiness, and more understated weedy, herbal, and floral green hops.
The carbonation is quite restrained in its feeble-seeming frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the big cereal malt really showing some lingering moxie.
Overall - this is indeed a pleasant enough version of the style, nice and crisp and malty, with that extra point of the ol' wowee sauce well-hidden. Sort of a strange time to release a Märzen, as Oktoberfest is still a ways off, but I've proven time and time again that I know nothing about the vagaries of beer distribution in my bailiwick.
