650ml bottle, one of six new brews to make their way to Edmonton this past week from this new Lethbridge operation.

This beer pours a slightly hazy, yet bright medium golden yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, rocky, and somewhat bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some rapidly melting snowbank lace around the glass as it quickly sinks away.

It smells of semi-sweet, gritty wheat malt, a bit of lemon rind, mixed earthy spice (a bit of black pepper, some clove), un-chewed bubblegum, and very tame leafy, dried hay-like, and musty floral hop bitters. The taste is grainy and doughy pale malt, a waning spicy wheatiness, muddled citrus flesh notes, befuddled yeast, more chalky candy character, and some growing testy leafy, weedy, and dead floral hoppiness.

The bubbles are fairly innocuous in their lazy-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, just a bit of tackiness (origin unknown) gadding about here. It finishes trending dry, the malt starting to tilt, while the shy yeast and emboldened greenish hops ascend.

Overall, this is indeed an American version of yer typical wheat ale, what with the hops outshining the yeasty phenols (fine in my book). Not exactly a quantum (sorry) leap beyond the first two wan offering that I've tried, but at least an improvement, and with no particular brewing flaws apparent. Yeah, back-handed compliments are a local specialty 'round here.
