355ml can - named after a former village that was incorporated into the town of Sylvan Lake. Uh huh.
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and fizzy bone-white head, which leaves a few instances of remote islet lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of gritty and crackery cereal malt, some pineapple and lemonade fruitiness, a hint of estery yeastiness, and some very plain earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready pale malt, well-faded generic citrus rind, kind of meaty yeast, and more underwhelming leafy, earthy, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite meek in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really existing here that might be a cause for concern. It finishes trending dry, the malt thinning out, and the wan frooty essences limping out the side door.
Overall - yeah, this one doesn't really deliver, as there's pretty much no tartness, and the whole deal just comes across as phoning it in. I guess having an uninspired marketing angle perhaps bled into the brewing ethos, or something. At any rate, I'm moving on.
