355ml can - the name just refers to crazy Europeans who ski straight down the mountain.
This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and mildly bubbly tan head, which leaves some decent broken web pattern lace around the glass as it slowly dissipates.
It smells of bready and biscuity cereal malt, a hint of free-range ashiness, some oily bar-top nuts, faint cocoa powder, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, mild dark fruit, a bit of wet char, and more well-understated earthy, herbal, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of that smokey essence maybe not making nice with the locals at this point in the process. It finishes off-dry, the malt and fading smoke in a lingering pas-de-deux.
Overall - yeah, I'm not really grokking this one, as the roasted character seems a tad off. The Alberta malt is there, loud and proud, but kind of gets short shrift, in the end. Ah well, worth checking out to see for yourself, I would duly imagine.
