250ml glass at the brand-new brewpub in Ritchie Market YEG - nice to see that they're embracing the reasonable half-pour for the half-price model - cheers!

This beer appears a slightly hazy, medium copper amber colour, with one chubby finger of puffy, finely foamy, and creamy ecru head, which leaves some decent layered cirrus cloud pattern lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.

It smells of bready and biscuity caramel malt, some indistinct dark orchard fruitiness, a stony flintiness, and some leafy, weedy, and herbal green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a further biscuity caramel sweetness, some bruised pome and mild citrus rind fruitiness, wet stone paths after the rain, and more understated leafy, earthy, and musty herbal verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a meek airy creaminess creeping in as things warm up even further than they already are around here. It finishes well off-dry, the malt contending with little in the way of tangible lingering hops.

Overall, the brewer implied that they would be doing the simple styles well, and by jive, they have delivered. Very reminiscent for me of drinking at a Scottish wedding years ago, and not particularly caring about analysis, but rather getting to the social side of things. Yeah, that's this place.
