1L howler from Wine & Beyond Southgate in Edmonton - local is starting to feel oh so good right now, in more than one way.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium salmon amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly bubbly pale pink head, which leaves some roiling wavecrest lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of musky cherry flesh, spoiled milk, lightly toasted pale malt, a generic wet crackery wheatiness, ethereal black pepper spice, and very subtle earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gently tart cherry, raspberry, and lemon fruity esters, a bit of acrid sour cream dairy thing, bready and grainy pale malt, damp wheat crackers, tame indistinct earthy spice notes, a hint of bland yeast, and more well understated leafy, weedy, and dead floral noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its quotidian frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and more or less smooth, with little else going on at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt seeing the lingering milky/cherry tartness and calling its bet.
Overall - this is a pleasant enough version of the style, not exactly all that tart or sour, which would make for a good gateway showing on the ol' P&L statement, I would imagine. At any rate, well-made, and worth enjoying the rest of this hefty serving at a more tempered pace, eh, clueless cashier dude?
