1L howler from Wine & Beyond Southgate in Edmonton, they of the 'exclusive' contracts with nascent Alberta brewers. I love the name here, and it may be a duplicate, but that's not my problem when breweries agree to stuff like this.

This beer pours a cloudy, dark apricot amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky beige head, which leaves a few instances of layered streaky lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.

It smells of bready and crackery caramel malt, a bit of spicy rye graininess, some earthy yeast, wet banana chips, and a hint of plain leafy, weedy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, damp rye crackers, dried banana pudding, a somewhat phenolic yeastiness, further indistinct pome fruity esters, and more understated earthy, musty and dank floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and quite smooth, with a wee airy creaminess settling in once things warm up a tad around here. It finishes well off-dry, the mixed malt, fading fruit, and estery yeast all glad-handing each other.

Overall - this is apparently actually called the 'The Fall of Sean Spicer Rye Oatmeal Hefeweizen', which is a mouthful, I know, but pertinent information nonetheless. The proof is certainly in the pudding, as this is a solid offering, but hey W&B, maybe hire me to sort out your presentation and data woes, at least in terms of beer!
