8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - part of the dregs of an Analog tap takeover that occurred here last Friday.

This beer appears a hazy, pale golden straw colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly bone-white head, which leaves a bit of streaky cirrus cloud pattern lace around the glass as things quickly subside.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some dry yeastiness, faint domestic citrus rind, some muddled earthy spiciness, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, a lesser biscuity wheatiness, ethereal citrus notes, faded yeast, and more understated herbal, leafy, and dead grassy hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly benign in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any sort of trouble at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the malt and hops working the lingering scene.

Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough version of the style, with the dry hopping evident throughout, to a certain degree. A worthy year round offering, if my opinion matters at all, which I suspect that it doesn't. Oh well.
