8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Something about having a 'growth' in my brew doesn't sit all that well with my better senses.

This beer appears a slightly hazy, pale golden straw colour, with a thin cap of wispy and weakly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent dripping paint job pattern lace around the glass as things slowly progress.

It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, stale lemons, some old-school yeastiness, faint black pepper spice, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a lesser biscuity wheatiness, bland earthy yeast, ephemeral generic citrus notes, and more understated herbal, grassy, and floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-mollifying frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with little in the way of intransigence here. It finishes trending dry, the graininess keeping up lingering appearances.

Overall - yeah, this comes across as just a simple base version of the style, with hardly a speck of the purported guest ingredient. I'm kinda glad that I forewent the trip to the deep southside to get a growler of this stuff yesterday afternoon.
