8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Shouldn't it be called 'Tommy Gun'?
This beer appears a hazy, medium bronzed amber colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some decent painted lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, a further biscuity toffee sweetness, some muddled pome fruitiness, and plain earthy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, white breakfast biscuits, a small mixed bowl of domestic orchard fruitiness, and more understated herbal, grassy, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any sort of ruckus at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the biscuity malt doing its best to validate the lingering veracity of this offering.
Overall - this comes across as more or less a solid rendition of the old-school style, which happens to be one of my long-time favorites. Maybe not on par with Fullers, but enjoyable on its own merits, so give it some consideration if you cross paths with it.
