650ml bottle - their first actual lager! Aaaaah, welcome to the world of grown ups, guys! But not quite - just to engender label space, you went with yer 'B.S.' shtick, yet went all German in the subtext? 'Sieben bier sind auch ein Schnitzel!' Nice play on an amped-up characterization of a traditional drinking trope - yes, 7 does trump 3, and I say that with a John Oliver-esque 'cooool'!
This beer pours a slightly hazy, very pale golden straw colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and well bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent creepy iceberg profile lace around the glass as it very lazily recedes.
It smells of bready and crackery pale malt, a touch of old-school yeastiness, cold apple and pear skin, and some tame earthy, leafy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy Alberta cereal malt, some now muddled domestic citrus and pome fruitiness, a hint of Teutonic gasohol (which only may be imagined), well-faded estery yeast, and more pleasant leafy, weedy, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly restrained in its quotidian frothiness, the body an adequate medium weight, and generically smooth, with nothing aiding or preventing the base cause here, as such. It finishes off-dry, but not by all that much, as the hops keep up the good fight, making for a pleasant lingering experience.
Overall - I gotta say, this is a pretty enjoyable and crisply assertive version of the style (Kellerbier, that is, not the bland, letter-saving titular one). Good, good stuff, and as alluded to earlier, it's nice to see recent Alberta startups embrace the qualities that AB-Inbev (and their antecedent ilk) have utterly destroyed over the not so recent past, ja?
