355ml can - yup, great time of the year to release a 'summer ale', but I've been to Rimbey (once), and this jives with my memory of the place.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden straw colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly fizzy off-white head, which leaves some dispersing fog bank pattern lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some faint dark berry fruitiness, subtle yeasty notes, and some plain earthy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, muddled domestic pome fruit, ephemeral yeast, and more well, well-understated floral, musty, and herbal hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-mollifying frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a so-so experience here. It finishes off-dry, the malt kind of thinning out in its lingering state.
Overall - this comes across as your typical 'we want to appeal to BMC/gateway consumers too, so we'll make the blandest craft offering possible' attitude. There's nothing wrong or off, but just a lack of, y'know, flavour. Inoffensive, and instantly forgettable.
