8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - kind of surprised that Railyard isn't canning this one.

This beer appears a clear, rather pale golden yellow colour, with one skinny-ass finger of wispy and bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some decent cumolonimbus cloud pattern lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of grainy and crackery cereal malt, muddled domestic citrus peel, some hard water flintiness, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, some orange, white grapefruit, and lemon citrus rind, a hint of damp minerality, and more leafy, herbal, and resinous piney hoppiness. .

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really causing any sort of ruckus at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the hop bitterness hanging around to pick up the lingering swag.

Overall - this is an agreeable enough version of the style, more hoppy than malty, but that's a-ok by this camper. Easy to put back, and with very little sign of the elevated ABV, a nice sipper whilst watching sports highlights of shit I actually don't care about.
