8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - made with cranberry and blood orange, apparently.

This beer appears a slightly hazy, pale salmon colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves a few instances of rearing humpback whale pattern lace around the glass as things slowly progress.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, thin cranberry juice, muddled domestic citrus rind, saltine crackers, and very faint earthy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, some mixed dark fruitiness, saltwater, a hint of estery yeast, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and herbal hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a refreshing time at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the malt faltering in the face of the tart lingering frooty essences.

Overall - this comes across as a pleasantly rendered version of the style, with the guest ingredients doing well to add and not detract from the whole experience. Crisp, and rather easy to put back on a sunny and unseasonably warm January afternoon.
