16oz pint at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - nice to see more of this SoAb brewery's offerings showing up around these parts.

This beer appears a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a bit of broken webbed lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, white grape juice, a bit of earthy yeastiness, faint petrol notes, and some tame leafy, herbal, and grassy noble hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, some apple and white wine lees fruitiness, faded estery yeast, equally muted gasohol, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and floral green hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-assuring frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the grapey character hard to shake off in the lingering space.

Overall - this is quite the frooty iteration of the style, but that's a-ok by this observer's estimation. Gentle, easy to throw back, and worth checking out before the weather really takes a turn, which is obviously always more than a bit too soon.
