8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. No idea what kind of sour this is supposed to be. More later.
This beer appears a hazy, pale golden straw colour, with one solid finger of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly creamy off-white head, which leaves a few instances of randomly streaky lace around the glass as it quickly dissipates.
It smells of grainy and crackery cereal malt, some mixed domestic citrus peel, a tame earthy yeastiness, and plain leafy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, some muddled melon and citrus fruit bowl notes, faintly tart yeast, and more understated leafy, musty, and dead grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its palate-tickling frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting uppity, as such, here. It finishes trending dry, the lingering fruitiness exhibiting its mildly sour tendencies.
Overall - this sure is a refreshing and enjoyable version of the style, with the fruity character contributing in large part. Nothing bush league about this offering, unless you are the kind of sour snob who insists on losing tooth enamel to gain the full experience.
