20oz pint at Arcadia on 124th in Edmonton. Brewed by Banded Peak for Annex, apparently.
This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and wispy off-white head, which leaves some tendril lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of bready and grainy pale malt, a further breakfast cereal thing, a mild flintiness, subtle generic citrus notes, and some plain earthy, leafy, and weedy green hop bitters. The taste is toasted pale malt, more muddled graininess, a laid-back pome fruitiness, and some still understated earthy, weedy, and floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is actually quite tame in its wan frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a thin airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad. It finishes off-dry, barely, that toastiness persisting like a boss.
Overall - I don't really have much experience with this unrecognized style (and hardly even believe that it actually exists), so I can't account for the Australian side of the equation. Add to that the sickly bubble situation, and the only thing that I can validate from the name is that this is indeed an ale.
