500ml glass at Biera - named after one of their brewers, in some sort of manner.

This beer appears a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some decent cobweb lace around the glass as it rather lazily sinks out of sight.

It smells of dank pine resin, bready and doughy caramel malt, a mixed domestic citrus fruitiness, and further leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, a lesser biscuity caramel sweetness, muddled orange and generic grapefruit citrus esters, a weird hint of black peppercorn spice, and more tame leafy, herbal, and musty verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly aggressive in its palate-assaulting frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a bit of free-range hop acridity making a few minor waves here. It finishes trending dry, the crackery Alberta malt tightening its grip on the lingering reins.

Overall - this comes across much more akin to an earnestly rendered ESB, than anything IPA-adjacent. I know that's kind of this outfit's modus operandi, but I'm more of a call a spade a spade guy, so you can see where this is going - they don't call anything a thing at this establishment.
