8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - having a five-year old means that I actually understand the naming convention here.

This beer appears a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves a decent band of painted lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, Swedish berries, generic domestic citrus rind, a bit of stoney flintiness, and some plain earthy, weedy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, some orange and grapefruit citrus flesh, indistinct exotic fruity notes, a damp minerality, and more leafy, herbal, and gently lit-up floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, but for a wee sense of alcohol ingress arising as it warms up a bit around here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and varied frooty essences predominating.

Overall - this is an agreeable enough version of the style, if one that comes across as somewhat thin in its bearing. There's flavour, sure, but I'd like at least a bit more heftiness thrown in my general direction.
