8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - yeah, the French is wrong in the name, but I'm going with what the brewery calls it.

This beer appears a slightly hazy, pale golden straw colour, with one skinny finger of weakly puffy, finely foamy, and faintly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a few instances of diving orca aftermath lace around the glass as things slowly progress.

It smells of sugary pome fruit flesh, grainy and bready cereal malt, some mild earthy spiciness, subtle yeasty esters, and very tame musty, herbal, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy pale malt, some apple and pear fruitiness, wheat crackers, ethereal black peppercorns, fading yeast, and more understated leafy, weedy, and floral green hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly restrained in its lackadaisical frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and essentially smooth, with nothing really looking for any trouble at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the Alberta cereal character predominating.

Overall - this is a pleasantly rendered version of the style, with lots of robust flavours abounding. Worth checking out, especially if you're a big fan of this kind of thing in the first place, and need a go-to for the up-coming 'Beach Season'.
