A fairly hoppy red approaching ESB territory and that's a good thing. Some nice pineyness great crystal malt and balanced in a very drinkable package.

1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor Store - nice to see this nascent Edmonton brewery's wares so quickly being distributed around town!
This beer pours a sort of hazy, medium orange-brick amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves some decent spackled wall lace around the glass as it lazily sinks away.
It smells of grainy and somewhat doughy caramel malt, brown toasted crackers, a twinge of musty yeastiness, ethereal dark orchard fruity notes, and gentle earthy, leafy, and weedy hop bitters. The taste is gritty and bready caramel malt, more toasted wheat crackers, a retreating yeasty measure, some muddled citrus and pome fruitiness, and a plain weedy, herbal, and kind of floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly understated in its generic and standoffish frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, just a wee bit o' that flitting char making a dent in the veneer here. It finishes off-dry, but trending towards the latter, as the malt starts to peter out, and well, everything else just puts 'er in neutral.
Overall, a simple, and mildly unpolished example of the broad style - it could use a more overt (extroverted, maybe?) hop profile, and the wayward yeast doesn't seem to fit, but it's tasty enough that I shan't be having a problem putting back the rest of this serving.
