8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - been a while since we've seen any new stuff from this L-loyd operation show up in the big city.
This beer appears a hazy, dark bronzed amber colour, with one finger of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly bubbly ecru head, which leaves a bit of random streaky lace around the glass as it quickly abates.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, a lesser cereal wheatiness, subtle old-school yeast, faint banana bubblegum, a tame dark orchard fruitiness, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, wet wheat crackers, a muddled pome fruitiness, ethereal musty yeast, and more understated leafy, herbal, and floral noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite meek in its barely-there frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, nothing really causing any sort of trouble here. It finishes off-dry, the fruity malt carrying the lingering torch.
Overall - this is certainly an agreeable enough version of the style, nice and fruity, with a very well integrated near 9 points of the ol' wowee sauce quotient. Another genial offering from these Saskatchewan-adjacent Weizenheimers.
