16oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - cans will probably be showing up soon enough, I would imagine.
This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber colour, with one skinny finger of weakly puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some pockmarked limestone wall lace around the glass as things quickly fall away.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, some mixed red berry and citrus fruitiness, a hint of wet stones after a hard rain, and more leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, some muddled domestic citrus acridity, more mixed berry essences, and some testy leafy, herbal, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with the hops causing a minor transgression here. It finishes trending dry, the malt and frooty hoppiness tangling to the end.
Overall - this is a pleasant enough example of what this particular hop can impart on an underlying brew. It holds its own with that complex fruity character, which makes it totally worth checking out, IMHO.
