8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - apparently this has been available all summer, but I have not heard about it until now.

This beer appears a murky, pale golden straw colour, with a thin cap of wispy and faintly bubbly off-white head, which leaves a few instances of wayward island pattern lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, muddled domestic citrus peel, stone paths after a good hard rainshower, a hint of earthy yeastiness, and very tame leafy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, a lesser biscuity wheatiness, white pepper dust, mixed pome and citrus fruity notes, a damp minerality, and more understated earthy, herbal, and musky floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite active in its swirling and twirling frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any sort of trouble at this point in the game. It finishes trending dry, the wheaten malt presiding.

Overall - this is a pleasant enough version of the style, nicely crisp and easy to put back on a relatively late summer afternoon in this old haunt of mine.
