20oz glass at the brewpub off Whyte.

This beer appears a hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly bone-white head, which leaves absolutely nothing in the way of lace around the glass as things slowly progress.

It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, ginger and cardamom spice, a faint old-school yeastiness, and some plain earthy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a mixed earthy spiciness, faint cherry fruity notes, tame Belgian yeast, and more understated earthy, herbal, and floral green hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and fading holiday spice the order of the lingering day.

Overall - this comes across as a pleasantly rendered version of the style, if one that might have been better at Christmas, but that's like just my opinion, man.
