400ml glass at Craft Beer Market in Edmonton - I've never even heard of this Cowtown outfit before! An APA, so they say.
This beer appears a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with one skinny finger of weakly puffy, mildly foamy, and somewhat bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some impending iceberg collision lace around the glass as things quickly progress.
It smells of semi-sweet, bready and kind of pastry-like caramel malt, mixed citrus cream, a darker Mediterranean fruitiness, and more leafy, floral, and grassy hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, muddled citrus and green forest floor detritus acerbities, a hint of indistinct earthy spice, and more slightly perfumed floral hop bitterness.
The carbonation is quite understated in its mostly just perfunctory frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a thin airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad. It finishes on the sweet side, the hops shedding most of their already suspect bitterness in favour of their fruity inherencies.
Overall, a pleasant enough version of this so-called American-styled pale ale (hops, by definition, most likely come from the Yakima valley around here, just sayin'). That said, this is obviously more English in its bearing - perhaps the Boiling Oar brewers have been hanging out at Dandy a lot.
