8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - appropriate skiing reference in this one's name.

This beer appears a murky, medium purple colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly pale pink head, which leaves some pitted limestone cliff pattern lace around the glass as things slowly progress.

It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, some muddled dark stone fruitiness, a hint of earthy yeast, and some plain leafy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, blackberry flesh, saltine crackers, faint yeast, and more well-understated earthy, herbal, and grassy hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a good time here. It finishes trending dry, the sugar falling out of the lingering solution.

Overall - this is a rather well-made version of the style, with a nice frooty addition. Refreshing, and certainly worth checking out, especially if you are a fan of this sort of thing.
