8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - wow, I can't believe that I added this one over two months ago!

This beer appears a hazy, medium banana yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some decent defrosting back windshield pattern lace around the glass as things slowly progress.

It smells of grainy and bready caramel malt, some muddled tropical fruitiness, a damp minerality, and faint earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, orange and white grapefruit citrus rind, some flinty stoniness, faded exotic fruity notes, and more understated leafy, herbal, and piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any concern at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the hops consolidating their stranglehold.

Overall - this is indeed a pleasantly rendered version of the style, with the hops making for a well-balanced affair. Worth checking out, but it's not really all that evocative of any sort of antipodean dreams, if that's what you're expecting here.
