1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - nice handwriting, Robyn! I only say because mine has become atrocious. And I'm only babbling on because this one's name says it all.
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and rather creamy eggshell white head, which leaves a bit of random streaky lace around the glass as it slowly evaporates.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, charred pineapple (why someone would do that, I dunno), soured milk, and very subtle earthy, musty, and floral hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, ethereal singed pineapple rings, some indistinct domestic citrus peel, a faint sour yeastiness, some damp minerality, and more well-understated earthy, herbal, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly wan in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing in particular getting in the way of palatal bliss here. It finishes off-dry, the cereal malt essentially holding all the lingering cards.
Overall - yeah, it's obvious that they used pineapple in this offering, but with kid gloves, apparently. Not a bad brew, but not all that sour, either. Given the name, it makes me wonder if 'Main Street' in Airdrie is just a back alley, or the like, eh?
