16oz pint at the brewery taproom, after negotiating another typical shitty South-side Edmonton industrial parking lot access point.
This beer appears a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with one anemic finger of wispy and bubbly tan head, which leaves some decent tightly webbed lace around the glass as it quickly recedes.
It smells of bready and biscuity cereal malt, some indistinct domestic citrus fruitiness, a damp minerality, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hoppiness. The taste is grainy and crackery caramel malt, some bruised pome and citrus fruity esters, and an even-handed earthy, piney, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-probing frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, but for a touch of hop acridity maybe not playing all that well with the locals here. It finishes trending dry, those hops working it (or dancin' on the ceiling, thank you canned tunes).
Overall - this is certainly one of the more robust versions of a Red IPA that I have ever encountered. On a barely related note, the genial barkeep (and probable brewer) just told me that Aussies really like this style. No idea why, but, crikey, good on 'em!
