8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. What makes a Blonde 'modern' these days? Asking for a friend.

This beer appears a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves a bit of streaky cirrus cloud pattern lace around the glass as things sink away.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some muddled domestic citrus rind, a hint of funky yeastiness, and more leafy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy pale malt, wet wheat crackers, some orange and red grapefruit citrus peel, musty yeast, a damp minerality, and more leafy, herbal, and grassy hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly active in its swirling and twirling frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and sort of smooth, with just a bit of yeast astringency taking a minor tithe here. It finishes trending dry, and kind of hard on the palate.

Overall - this comes across as having an almost Brett-like unpleasantness. Not very easy to put back, and I am starting to regret this purchase.
