1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - a collaboration with The Common, a music-friendly, downtown Edmonton 'gastropub'. Made with French Saison yeast.
This beer pours a murky, medium apricot amber colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some decent splattered and sudsy lace around the glass as it slowly sinks out of sight.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, a musty and sort of soured yeastiness, blood orange, red grapefruit, and lemon citrus flesh, and some leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and biscuity caramel malt, some other random graininess, spicy yeast, muddled domestic citrus peel, and more leafy, herbal, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and not particularly smooth, as that yeast and hop acridity takes things down a couple of notches here. It finishes trending dry, for the same reasons just elucidated.
Overall - well, it seems as if they were going for a hazy, hoppy Saison, and they surely nailed that part. What doesn't really work, however, is the interplay between the hops and the yeast, as the result comes off as too acerbic. Interesting, but not my cup of (hipster) tea.
