8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Saw the bombers of this earlier in the bottleshop, but gave them a pass - now, however, I'm good to go!
This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber colour, with a thin cap of wispy and faintly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some spiky forked lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, a bit of spicy rye graininess, brown sugar, mild earthy yeast notes, a hint of black pepper, and some plain leafy, citrusy, and floral hop bitters. The taste is wet rye bread, some prominent pome and generic citrus fruitiness, more strangely inapt dark sugar notes, an understated yeastiness, faint muddled spice, and more leafy, weedy, and floral noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, as the yeast does well to keep its hands to itself here. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt sort of taking command of the lingering day.
Overall - this is an interesting approach to the base style, as the extra malt (rye or other) really gives it some oomph. Definitely a touch on the sweet side, which is fine, but it does make me happy that I didn't pull the trigger on a whole 650ml serving.
