650ml bottle - the latest IPA to be rolled out by these Calgarians with a keen sense of marketing humour.
This beer pours a clear, medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent random cloud form lace around the glass as it slowly dissipates.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, buttered toast, some muddled domestic citrus rind, a stoney flintiness, and some tame earthy, weedy, and resinous piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, plain Ritz crackers, an indistinct tropical fruitiness, some damp minerality, and more weak leafy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-pleasing frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing in particular getting in the way of a swell time at this point in the game. It finishes off-dry, that buttery malt character predominating.
Overall - yeah, this doesn't really come off like a typical example of the IPA sub-style. The big citrus and bitter green hoppy notes are sorely lacking, leading me to believe that something is amiss in this offering. It's not actually bad, just not what I was anticipating.
