1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - brewed with HBC-682 (which sounds like an American legal process, but I digress) experimental hops. Named after a former slide at the water park in Sylvan Lake.
This beer pours a murky, medium banana yellow colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and rather bubbly ecru head, which leaves some streaky snow rime lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of dank pine resin, bready and doughy cereal malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, a hard water flintiness, and some herbal, musty, and estery floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, some blood orange, red grapefruit, and lime citrus fleshiness, further indistinct tropical fruity notes, a damp minerality, and more earthy, hay-like, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly restrained in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with the oats fomenting a not-unsubstantial creaminess as we move along our merry path. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt, and equally blended frooty essences really working the lingering audience.
Overall - this is a pretty finely-rendered version of the IPA sub-style, nice and hazy and fruity in its bearing. Not to mention the essentially undetectable north of 16-proof booze quotient, and what we have here, I do believe, is something that might compel me to go down a water slide, headfirst, just sayin'.
