473ml can - I guess if anyone can claim 'true prairie' status, it's these guys.
This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves some decent layered frilly lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, muddled domestic citrus peel, a bit of stoney flintiness, and some earthy, musty, and dank piney hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, some orange, white grapefruit, and lemon citrus rind, a damp minerality, and more leafy, herbal, and resinous piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really cause for concern at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the hops holding the majority of the lingering high cards.
Overall - yup, this is certainly a well-wrought version of the style, nice and hoppy, but balanced by that sweet-ass Alberta malt. Crisp, and easy to put back, especially (as previously noted) when their marketing bluster cannot be refuted. Worthy of checking out, now that they have entered the province-wide booze distribution hell-scape.
