355ml can - they are apparently making a series out of their Chinook Wind (contains no Chinook hops) session ale, with this one sporting some lemon and wheat.
This beer pours a hazy, yet bright medium copper amber colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and weakly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some roiling wavecrest lace around the glass as it quickly sinks out of sight.
It smells of semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, a lesser cereal wheatiness, some bored-seeming yeast, very tame generic citrus rind, and subtle leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready caramel malt, a still second fiddle wheaten character, overripe lemon flesh, a suggestion of peppery yeastiness, and more well understated earthy, weedy, and dead floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite plain in its low-fi frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess seeping in as things warm up tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt essentially running any after-hours activity.
Overall, this is a pleasant enough sidestep to the original session ale, making for a more robust maltiness, and with a gentle kiss of lemon, refreshment is not out of the question. Worthy of a try, especially as we're past worrying about how Spring is gonna roll, and heading right into patio season!
