1L howler from Sherbrooke liquor store - it seems that there's a bit of confusion around this and the Engine 17 APA elsewhere on these interwebs. Big fucking surprise.
This beer pours a clear, pale golden amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some streaky and sudsy island group lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of bready and crackery cereal malt, some mild tropical fruitiness, a few yeasty esters, and some plain leafy, weedy, and musky floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, ethereal and indistinct fruity notes, fading earthy yeast, and more stupidly understated weedy, leafy, and wet grassy 'verdant' hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing else to really report here, which is getting kind of tiresome. It finishes off-dry, the generic malt pretty much the only lingering game in town.
Overall - yeah, the hop quotient here is tenuous at best, fresh or otherwise. Not a bad brew, but both the bitter and flavouring notes are just hardly there - this seems more like a plain pale ale, in the vein of Granville Island or the like. Maybe next year will be better, eh?
