473ml can - the O.D.R. stands for 'Out Door Rink' which is meant to pay tribute to Airdrie's 'rich hockey culture'. Ya know, the one where our gear was stolen from their arena in between games at a tournament there when I was a kid.
This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with four fingers (were it was five, as in discount) of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat fizzy tan head, which leaves some sparse paramecia lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, brown sugar syrup, a sweet nuttiness, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, some oily bar-top nuts, and more well-understated leafy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly tame in its palate-satisfying frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a nice airy creaminess (ya don't say) arising as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the malt sealing the lingering deal.
Overall - well, this comes off much better than your typical Canadian-made cream ale, with lots of robust Alberta malt flavour. Kind of a one-trick pony, sure, but I guess there's lots of folks out there who might like this sort of thing.
