8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square.
This beer appears a murky, medium bronzed amber colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent streaky cirrus cloud pattern lace around the glass as things slowly progress.
It smells of grainy and crackery cereal malt, some mixed domestic citrus peel, underripe banana, a faint estery yeastiness, and very tame earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, plain Belgian yeast, baked apples and pears, and more well-understated leafy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its workaday frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a good time here. It finishes off-dry, the malt running the lingering racket.
Overall - this comes across as a pleasantly rendered brown ale, with just a touch of Low Countries yeasty character interwoven throughout. Pretty good, actually, which I admit, I wasn't really expecting. Sorry for the backhanded compliment.
