1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store (in freaking EDMONTON)!
This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some decent dissipating fog bank profile lace around the glass as it quickly sinks out of sight.
It smells of lightly toasted, bready and doughy cereal malt, some indistinct grapey fruitiness, a hint of earthy spice, and some plain leafy, musty, and grassy noble hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery caramel malt, some mixed pome and red berry fruity notes, faint black pepper spice, and more understated earthy, herbal, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly subtle in its insouciant frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of hop edginess portraying the proverbial pea here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and mixed frooty essences showing the most lingering moxie.
Overall - this is an enjoyable enough version of the old-world style, nice and malty, with just the right amount of hop countermeasure to keep it from going off the rails. Crisp, and easy to put back, as I stare out at the green, snow-laden grass and trees. And I'm not even having turkey today - I kinda wanted to BBQ, oh well.
