16oz pint at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - I've missed out on this one a few times already, so third time's the charm! I wonder if they're still brewing out of Dead Frog?
This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber colour, with one thick finger of puffy, rocky, and chunky off-white head, which leaves some streaky defrosting windshield lace around the glass as it slowly recedes.
It smells of grainy and crackery caramel malt, some bruised apple/pear pome fruitiness, a very subtle peppercorn spice, and some plain leafy, weedy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy caramel malt, applesauce, pear compote, a twinge of musty yeastiness, some estery ground black pepper, and more leafy, earthy, and dead grassy verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is so-so in its milquetoast frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, and somewhat smooth, the hops actually a minor cause for concern as this juncture. It finishes semi-sweet, as the caramel malt seems quite capable of holding down the fort.
Overall, this is an acceptable enough version of the style, though something just feels a tad off - lots of flavour, yet kind of simple-seeming. Still, promising, compared to this outfit's previous efforts, so that's a good sign, right?
