473ml can - the '160' refers to the 160 acres of land given to the original European settlers in Alberta. Neato.
This beer pours a mostly clear, pale golden straw colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some decent broadly spanning webbed lace around the glass as it lazily blows off.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a bit of earthy yeastiness, white wine must, faint black peppercorn spice, and some very, very tame leafy, herbal, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, a lesser edgy wheatiness, dried red apple skins, some musty yeast, and more understated earthy, weedy, and musky floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing getting in the way of an enjoyable time at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the varied Alberta malt keeping the home fires a-burnin'!
Overall - well, while not my favourite style, I can appreciate the relatively new-found enthusiasm from local brewers to invigorate it with Wild Rose Country's finest field to glass opportunities. It's crisp, easy to drink, and helps one forget about the travails of the current season, and further abroad, for that matter.
