16oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - a bit of a surprise find on this blustery late October afternoon.
This beer appears a hazy, pale apricot amber colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and faintly bubbly off-white head, which leaves a bit of random remote islet lace around the glass as things quickly progress.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, a lesser wheaten cereal character, muddled domestic citrus flesh, a minor hard water flintiness, and more understated earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is white grapefruit juice, crackery and grainy pale malt, a touch of earthy yeastiness, further indistinct citrus notes, and some weak leafy, weedy, and musky floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly laid-back in its quotidian frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with a bit of citrus acridity maybe exacting a wee tithe here. It finishes trending dry, the malt bottoming out, and the now wan grapefruit stumbling along.
Overall, this is an enjoyable enough fruit beer, as the grapefruit obviously does not overpower the base blonde ale. Crisp, easy to drink, and weirdly released on a day when the first snowflakes of the looming season are falling.
