1L howler, from where else around here, but the good ol' Sherbrooke Likka Sto! Apparently 'bursting with American Mosaic and Australian Galaxy hops' (the nationalities being somewhat redundant there, just sayin'), with the session-worthiness of this latest offering just about to be thoroughly road-tested!
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some random and disjointed coral reef atoll lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, a pleasantly meddling chalky flintiness, muddled domestic citrus pith, ephemeral earthy yeasty notes, and some testy leafy, herbal, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy pale malt (no caramel esters to be inferred here), a bit of overripe lemon and mixed grapefruit strain citrus acridity, a well-retreated yeastiness, and more ascending earthy, leafy, and wet resinous pine verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is pretty aggressive (but well-toned down from previous incarnations) in its palate-supportive frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and genuinely smooth, these worldly hops doing well to keep their grubby hands inside the windows at all times. It finishes off-dry, some lingering tropical fruitiness providing a mild jolt to the fading 'session' maltiness.
Overall, this is certainly one of the better versions of this maligned (by me too, I freely admit) 'style', that I have come across 'round here, but that is no surprise coming from this nascent Cowtown contract brewer. Named after a south-west of Calgary park where apparently he takes his family, I can only say, part of my early school years were spent around that area, and I am just glad that we have come around full circle, in time and in space. Yeah.
