8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. I still don't know where this contract brewery makes their stuff, but they're associated with Coulee Brewing on Connect.
This beer appears a hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with a thin cap of wispy and faintly bubbly off-white head, which leaves a low berm of painted lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a lesser biscuity wheatiness, some mild estery yeast, a faint earthy spiciness, and very tame leafy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, wet Wheat Thins, some muddled pome fruitiness, still faint earthy spice, more plain yeast, and an ethereal leafy, weedy, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite restrained in its lackadaisical frothiness, the body a weak middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a so-so time at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the generic frooty character predominating.
Overall - this is an agreeable enough offering, if a tad simple in its rendition. Kind of sweet for the style, but easy to put back on another blustery Summer day in Capital City.
