On tap at The Wood in Canmore, Alberta.

This one pours a clear dull orange/amber color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells mainly malty, with a light tea-like and grassy bitter aroma.

This is very much a product of the 1990s brewpub culture – it’s neither East Coast or West Coast, it’s just kinda too malty and boring. I don’t hate it, but there’s barely anything to it. There’s more malt character than anything else, and that maltiness isn’t even that interesting. It’s just generically sweet. The beer does manage to finish semi-dry, with a touch of tea-like green bitterness.

This is light bodied, and pretty drinkable.

This is extremely forgettable, but not altogether horrible.

473ml can - nice to see more mention of the splendour that is Banff National Park!

This beer pours a clear, medium golden amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves some splendid webbed hanging curtain lace around the glass as it slowly sinks away.

It smells of semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, a hint of biscuity toffee, some blended citrus and melon-like fruitiness, a touch of hard water flintiness, and very tame earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, still muddled pome, citrus, and plebeian melon fruity notes, an ephemeral yeasty character, and more understated leafy, weedy, and piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly mild in its wan-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess seeping in as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and various fruitiness carrying the remains of the day.

Overall, this is a genial and approachable enough version of the style, with lots of robust hop goodness, yet sans the typical bitterness. Easy to drink, refreshing, and worthy of schlepping a few 4-packs on a hiking or camping trip in the Rockies this summer, I would imagine.
