8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - this brewery is hard AF to Google (or beer advocate), just sayin'. Apparently contract brewed at Coulee Brewing in Lethbridge.

This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some dissolving ice floe pattern lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, some bruised apple and generic citrus fruitiness, stoney flinty notes, and plain earthy, weedy, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, further grainy essences, mixed citrus peel, a damp minerality, and more leafy, weedy, and musky floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly benign in its wan-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, as very little exists here that might cause any conflict, as such. It finishes off-dry, the malt and muddled fruitiness presiding.

Overall - this comes across as a rather meek version of the style. Fruity, yes, but hardly bitter at all. Not particularly appealing, I'm sad to report, and I would not care to revisit it, as the only thing that it is inducing in me is boredom. Maybe they can get Coulee to help them out with their bland recipe.
