12oz chalice at Beer Revolution YEG downtown west. Rolling out a DIPA right off the bat - good on ya guys!
This beer appears a slightly glassy, dark bronzed amber colour, with one finger of puffy, very loosely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves some decent hoar frost lace around the glass as things quickly fade away.
It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, faint biscuity toffee, mixed domestic and tropical citrus flesh, a hint of earthy yeast, and a growing leafy, grassy, and gently perfumed floral green hoppiness. The taste is edgy orange and white grapefruit citrus rind, grainy and crackery pale malt, a fairly lessened caramel sweetness, ethereal yeast, and some thinning leafy, weedy, and floral hop bitters.
The bubbles are pretty understated in their plain Jane frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and mostly smooth, with a sense of greenery-infused booze imparting a certain edginess here. It finishes trending dry, the malt's bottom apparently falling out, and the muddled citrusy, verdant, and alcoholic characters wanly picking up the slack.
Overall, not a bad big IPA, however, there seems to be a lack of malt weight, and an overabundance of hop bitterness, as opposed to actual flavour. Maybe a bit more tweaking back at the ol' drawing board is necessary with this one.
