355ml can - their apparent flagship offering. As for the name, does it not stand for 'Prairie Brewing IPA'? What, too simple?
This beer pours a clear, medium copper amber colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, rocky, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent splattered snow rime lace around the glass as it very slowly dissipates.
It smells of bready and biscuity cereal malt, subtle domestic citrus rind, some hard water flintiness, and more tame leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, still hard to parse plain citrusy notes, some faint tropical fruitiness, a damp minerality, and more laid-back earthy, musty, and piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-satisfying frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the malt seeing very little in the way of a lingering bitterness.
Overall - yep, this comes across very much like a beginner's, training-wheels type version of the style, by which I mean absolutely no disrespect. Well-made, but perhaps just a bit too timid to keep my flavour receptors at full alert, as it were.

My first sample from another new Alberta brewery. If you know a bit about Three Hills, you'll see the humor in the name of this beer... Overall, this is a decent American IPA that swings west, if anything. It is a nice copper colour with an off-white foamy head. The nose is mostly biscuit, with some faint resin and earthy notes. The dry Cascade hops are in evidence, but certainly not in charge of the show. The mouthfeel is relatively crisp up front, but falls off in the end. In the end, this is a decent IPA - good enough to pique my interest in Prairie's other offerings.
