1L howler from Wine & Beyond Southgate in Edmonton. Apparently this is quite popular - who would have thunk it?
This beer pours a hazy, medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some random specked chunky lace around the glass as it slowly bleeds away.
It smells of fresh-cut red apples, grainy and crackery pale malt, a subtle cinnamon and white pepper spiciness, further breakfast cereal notes, and some very ethereal earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy pale malt, a lesser caramelized wheatiness, criss-cross applesauce (it's a kid thing), more cinnamon, ginger, and indistinct ground pepper spicy notes, and some still well understated leafy, weedy, and gently soused-up floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite tame in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with a soft airy creaminess struggling to get off the ground here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and apple sweetness kept tethered by a lingering metallic booziness.
Overall - this is a pretty well-rendered flavoured wheat ale, with the apple pie simulacrum easy to appreciate. The only delta that I get is the extra alcohol measure, but, if I recall correctly, there was always some of that served beside the titular confection, be it wine or whisky, that would ratify what's going on here. Good stuff.
