473ml can - with some, if I'm guessing correctly, strange, and unexplained gnarled tree branch imagery on the label.

This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium copper amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent streaky and splotchy lace around the glass as it lazily sinks out of sight.

It smells of gritty and crackery caramel malt, a further Alberta toasted cereal graininess, some minor hard water flinty notes, and rather tame earthy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, some additional, yet separate roasted cereal sweetness, muddled domestic citrus rind, and more musty, leafy, and herbal verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, as the hops here seemingly know how to be a gentleman, as such. It finishes off-dry, that cereal-forward malt really working it in its lingering posture.

Overall - this comes off much like a well-rendered ESB, than anything particularly American in its supposed pale ale bearing. The hops sit back in awe of the biscuity and cereal malt, which, yeah, is over-explaining things, but I guess that's my job, since the only other reference to this offering is from those mum morons on, y'know, that other popular beer 'review' website. Gag me with a pitchfork (them, not this brew).
