473ml can - courtesy of Sherbrooke Liquor store. For the record, claiming your brew is 'crushable' is kinda lame.
This beer pours a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent streaky snow rime lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, baked red apples, a subtle earthy yeastiness, and very plain leafy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, some mixed pome fruitiness, a damp minerality, and more well-understated leafy, herbal, and dead grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly tame in its milquetoast frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising once things warm up a tad out of the ol' basement bar fridge. It finishes off-dry, the Alberta malt in full lingering display.
Overall - yeah, this is a prototypical version of the style, that being a craft blonde ale. Simple, and definitely malt-forward, methinks I would get bored after a couple of these, but I suppose this might be a good example of a crossover offering for the macro crowd, as posited on the label.
