8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. What's the Whoops Factor? Let's find out!

This beer appears a murky, medium banana yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent eroding limestone cliff lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, a muddled orange, banana, and lemon fruitiness, some earthy yeast, and weak leafy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready pale malt, wet banana chips, chewed-out pink bubblegum, a sort of phenolic yeastiness, some wet minerality, and more underwhelming earthy, herbal, and floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly restrained in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, but for a bit of yeasty intransigence making a dent in the surface sheen here. It finishes trending dry, the lingering graininess pretty much going it solo.

Overall - I don't know the exact cause of the 'whoops' moment with this brew, but I am going to guess that it has something to do with mixing the streams of their pale ale and Hefeweizen. And it's the latter that makes the biggest impression on my curious tastebuds - I am not even going to complain about this brewery's propensity for eschewing style guidelines, this time.
