8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - I guess that there has been 3 previous versions of this offering, none of which made it my way, as far as I know.
This beer appears a hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some decent painted lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, juicy domestic citrus rind, a hint of soured yeast, some stoney flintiness, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery pale malt, orange and red grapefruit citrus peel, a faintly funky yeastiness, some damp minerality, and a plain leafy, herbal, and resinous piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-satisfying frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with perhaps a touch of hop astringency exacting a minor tithe here. It finishes trending dry, the blended bitter and tart essences presiding.
Overall - this might indeed be my first example of this rather newish hybrid style. It's quite good, with the focus on the NEPA side of the coin playing well with my various sensibilities. Worth checking out, especially if you are into robust and yet lighter brews.
