8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - a 'Red Dry Hopped Amber Ale'. I am indeed curious as to the meaning behind the name!
This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber colour, with one skinny finger of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat bubbly beige head, which leaves some decent painted lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of grainy and biscuity caramel malt, a bit of lesser toffee sweetness, muted domestic citrus rind, a gentle earthy nuttiness, and some plain leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery cereal malt, some biscuity toffee, orange and red grapefruit citrus flesh, oily bar-top nuts, and more leafy, weedy, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time here. It finishes trending dry, the biscuity malt character predominating.
Overall - this comes across as a pleasantly rendered version of the style, a hopped-up red ale, my favourite kind. Worth checking out, especially if you have ever been bored to tears by all those bland Canadian iterations over the years.
