355ml bottle - part of the 'Summer Brewpub' 12-pack currently available in Alberta. Now we can say that there's actual Newfie beer available here, of a sort. So do they mean someone who dances a jig, or the fishing implement?
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, chunky, and slightly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent wisping steam pattern (I know) lace around the glass as it slowly but surely sinks away.
It smells of bready and doughy pale malt, red apples, faint biscuity caramel, a subtle earthy yeastiness, and very tame leafy, weedy, and musty floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready pale malt, some muddled pome fruitiness, simple syrup, ephemeral yeast, and more understated earthy, weedy, and dried-hay like 'verdant' hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its merely supportive frothiness, the body a more or less solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a minor airy creaminess arising once things warm up a bit out of the ol' basement frigo. It finishes off-dry, the plain malty character limping on out the rear access.
Overall, this comes across pretty much just like every other version of the style that I've tried thus far: capably rendered, but with nothing that keeps my attention from duly wandering, so, yeah - boring. Not the brewer's fault, and sure, I can drink this, but there is not much delight in doing so.
