473ml can - a sort of curious release right in the middle of the holiday season, amirite? Oh, these brash, rule-breaking new Alberta brewers!
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden amber colour, with a teeming tower (again, it's just been that kind of week) of puffy, finely foamy, and chunky off-white head, which leaves some stellar spooky webbed lace around the glass as it slowly sinks away.
It smells of gritty and grainy wheat malt, a lesser cereal sweetness, some edgy Belgian yeast, sort of testy black pepper and clove spicy notes, underripe red apples, and some plain earthy, weedy, and musky floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, wet Wheat Thins, muddled citrus and pome fruity esters, a still kind of phenolic old-school yeastiness, rainbow peppercorn dust, and more understated earthy, musty, and dead floral noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite active in its palate-assaulting frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, the yeast seemingly backing the hell off for a hot second here. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt and fruity notes contending with some lingering yeast, spice, and hops.
Overall - this comes across as a fairly well-rendered version of the style, with all the typical metrics duly hit upon. Drying, refreshing, and easy to drink, and even if I find it oddly like a fish out of water right now, it's welcome all the same, including the sassy moniker.
