473ml can - a collaboration with fellow Gas City newcomers Travois Ale Works.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium bronzed amber colour, with three fat-ass fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves some stellar broken webbed lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of bready and doughy Alberta cereal malt, banana chips, some mixed holiday spices, a hint of musty yeastiness, and some plain earthy, weedy, and dead leafy noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser wheaten sweetness, banana-forward fruit smoothie, more understated musky yeast esters, and more herbal, leafy, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly lively in its tongue-teasing frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of phenolic astringency maybe taking things down a peg or so here. It finishes off-dry, the malt still holding sway, as the fruity and estery notes mill about in the lingering morass.
Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough ode to the 'alte Welt' greats, nice and complex, with just a wee warming effect on one's constituent bearing, as it were. Anyways, maybe I've been watching too much new British media (a mystery to me as well), but yeah, this one hits the proverbial spot.
