8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. A 'New England Cranberry Session Ale', produced in collaboration with Phillips Brewing Company out of Victoria, BC - we brew fans here in Alberta may have heard of them before, eh?

This beer appears a hazy, medium salmon orange colour, with one finger of weakly puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some boiling cauldron profile lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.

It smells of grapefruit cranberry cocktail, grainy and crackery pale malt, a bit of hard water flintiness, and some earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and crackery caramel malt, a further cereal graininess, generic red berry fruity esters, some wet minerality, and more leafy, musty, and piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is pretty innocuous in its plain-Jane frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time here. It finishes off-dry, the malt, fruit, and edgy hops making a day of it all.

Overall - this is a rather engaging and tasty melange of beer styles. Haze craze meets session IPA meets sour fruit ale, and the results are really worth checking out, if any of that sounded good to you, dear reader.
