12oz glass at the taproom in the increasingly beer-friendly southside Argyle area of YEG.

This beer appears a murky, dark orange-brick highlighted brown colour, with one finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly creamy tan head, which leaves a few specks of remote islet lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, some muddled domestic pome fruitiness, earthy old-school yeast, damp banana chips, and very tame leafy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser toffee sweetness, overripe bananas, a fading estery yeastiness, baked red apples, and more understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any sort of trouble at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt and frooty essences the order of the lingering day.

Overall - this comes across as a pleasantly rendered version of the venerable European style, nice and malty and not too yeasty. Worth checking out, especially as one of the initial offerings from a brand new craft brewery.
