1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor Store - I gotta say, the name and style of this offering conjure up only one thing. Yup, darn tootin', it's Yosemite Sam! A collaboration with an Edmonton bar and an Edmonton band...blah blah blah.
This beer pours a murky, medium orange-brick amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves a decent band of frilly lace around the glass as it evenly sinks away.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, buttery crackers, a somewhat estery yeastiness, muddled domestic pome fruit notes, and some rather weak earthy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a lesser basic bitch caramel sweetness, buttered corn, ephemeral yeast, and more weak musty, leafy, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite tepid in its checked-out-seeming frothiness, the body a maudlin middleweight, and not particularly smooth, with a wan clamminess pretty much there from the get-go. It finishes off-dry, the spindly malt limping quietly out the back door.
Overall - yeah, maybe the licensee here messed up their draft lines, or maybe the original brew just wasn't hopped as much as they claimed it was. Whatever, this isn't that bad, but I wouldn't order it again, even if I was blotto at a Wet Secrets concert, whoever the hell they are.
