1L howler from the genial brewpub on Edmonton's deep southside. Yeah. Anyways, this is made with both experimental malt (from Red Shed, natch) and experimental hops, the number I won't bore you with.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden straw colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and rather bubbly off-white head, which leaves a few instances of chunky archipelago pattern lace around the glass as it slowly seeps away.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some cucumber/dill/split pea vegetal notes, a subtle earthy yeastiness, and very tame leafy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, a mixed green vegetable acerbity, laid-back yeast, some damp minerality, and more earthy, musky, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite active in its palate-baiting frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and sort of smooth, as that acrid veggie thing seems to get everywhere here, like sand in your kid's clothes at the playground. It finishes trending dry, the malt wavering, while the salad in a glass thing persists.
Overall - yeah, whatever experiment that they've got going on here has not exactly yielded tremendous results. This is just too edgy, too bitter in the wrong way, for me to actually recommend it as an attractive option, which really pains me to say - however, I did pay for it, so I guess not really THAT much.
