1L howler from the brewpub on Edmonton's deep, deep (deep) southside. Named after their head chef, apparently.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden straw colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent layered cloud form lace around the glass as it genially recedes.
It smells of grainy and biscuity cereal malt, a bit of earthy yeastiness, some mild pome fruity notes, and equally tame leafy, weedy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, still extant yeast, overripe apples and/or pears, a hint of damp minerality, and more understated earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite laid-back in its innocuous frothiness, the body an adequate medium weight, and mostly smooth, but for a bit of grittiness from the inherent grain. It finishes trending dry, for the exact same reasons.
Overall - this is a more or less well-made version of the style, with the simple old-school earnestness bursting at the seams, as it were. Easy to put back, and as noted, not particularly complicated, but that's not typically a problem when all you have in front of you is Saturday night pizza and a backlog of recorded TV shows to watch, eh?
