1L howler from Wine & Beyond Southgate in Edmonton, my latest go-to joint for corporately-mandated exclusive Alberta craft brew - yeah, I can't believe it myself.
This beer pours a clear, medium orange-brick amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some tiered dripping paint swath lace around the glass as it quickly sinks away.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, a bit of acrid citrus rind and underripe pome skin fruitiness, some mild generic black tea essences, and very plain earthy, weedy, and gently perfumed floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery caramel malt, indistinct apple and pear peel esters, a subtle earthy nuttiness, ethereal toasted notes, and more understated weedy, floral, and musty hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its plain-Jane frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, nothing really getting in the way of palatal harmony here. It finishes off-dry, the biscuity malt doing well to keep the party humming right along.
Overall - this is a pretty representative version of the style, if one strained through the filter of Alberta craft malt, which is never a bad thing, IMHO. Crisp, malty, and certainly easy to put back, on a sort of seasonably cool Autumn evening around these parts.
