946ml crowler from Sherbrooke Liquor store. Since the brewery itself isn't up and running as of yet, this one was contract brewed at Two Sergeants, just in time for the first Edmonton Oilers playoff game in eleven freaking years.
This beer pours a hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with a thin cap of wispy and weakly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some Runic alphabet lace around the glass as things eventually sink away.
It smells of mildly sweet and grainy pale malt, musty apples, ephemeral citrus rind notes, a touch of earthy yeastiness, and some very innocuous leafy and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and gently crackery pale malt, quite faded pome and citrusy fruity notes, maybe a hint of further breakfast cereal sweetness, and more well understated musty, weedy, and dead floral 'verdant' hoppiness.
The carbonation is pretty meek in its zoned-out frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and boardroom-diktat smooth. It finishes off-dry, and plainly malty, as the hops (if there were actually any in the first place) seem to have left early to avoid the rush.
Overall, yeah - this is another offering that comes off poorly or indifferent in the parsing, but is really just a standard quaffer, nothing wrong with it at all, but don't go in expecting greatness. This is what you drink (so it doesn't distract you) while you're looking for greatness by association elsewhere.
