8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - so named after the area of Medicine Hat where the brewery is located? Also, this is apparently a 'New Englan' pale ale - I'm done fixing their shit here.

This beer appears a hazy, medium peach yellow colour, with nary a wisp of bone-white head, which leaves some attractive ropy lace around the glass as things slowly abate.

It smells of juicy blood orange, white grapefruit, and lime citrus flesh, gritty and grainy cereal malt, some hard water flintiness, and tame leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, a damp minerality, and more leafy, herbal, and resinous piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly benign in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the malt wavering, while the lingering hops fill the opening void.

Overall - this comes across as an agreeable enough version of the IPA sub-style, nice and fresh and quaffable. Worthy of checking out on a hot summer weekend afternoon, even if they still can't seem to spell-check at this establishment.
