8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - this was apparently finished on Australian Shiraz grape must, hence the somewhat redundant name here.

This beer appears a slightly hazy, pale golden straw colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some decent stalagmite pattern lace around the glass as things slowly progress.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, some hard water flintiness, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, some orange and red grapefruit citrus peel, a damp minerality, and more herbal, grassy, and piney hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly active in its palate-tickling frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, just as it supposed to, I have been told on occasion.

Overall - this is a pleasant enough version of this nascent IPA sub-style, and genuinely drinkable. Worthy of checking out.
