8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. What, is there an auto-correction going on right now against NEIPAs, or something?

This beer appears a slightly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some striated shale cliff pattern lace around the glass as it slowly dissipates.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some orange, white grapefruit, and lemon citrus rind, a hard water flintiness, and further leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy caramel malt, some muddled domestic citrus peel, plain Pez candies, and more leafy, herbal, and piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly benign in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting any handsy ideas at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the frooty and malty essences ruling the lingering roost.

Overall - this is a genial enough version of the style, fairly straightforward and simple in its bearing. It's like they polished some of the edginess one might be expecting in a West Coast IPA, and that unfortunately affects the ultimate score, I'm afraid.
