1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store, a brew apparently concocted in collaboration with the Saskatoon band The Sheepdogs to coincide with their latest album release. Why they would choose a name that is used elsewhere in Alberta (Olds College, specifically), is beyond me - maybe the kids are alright and don't freaking litigate.
This beer pours a crystal clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, rather loosely foamy, and well-bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent chunky webbed lace around the glass as it slowly and evenly subsides.
It smells of bready and crackery cereal malt, white grape juice, a further indistinct tropical fruitiness, faint earthy yeast notes, and more understated leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, some white wine on lees, muddled domestic citrus rind, a touch of musty yeastiness, wet stone paths after a hard rain, and more laid-back earthy, herbal, and floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly restrained in its punch-clocking frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, as nothing really nominates itself as a cause for concern here. It finishes trending dry, the malt faltering a touch, and the mixed hops keeping it solely between the ditches.
Overall - this comes across as a more or less well-made traditional golden ale, with a bit of New World elan tossed in for good measure. It reminds me of another brew (of the exact same style) made for a different Saskatchewan celebrity - that golfer dude with the beard.
