Poured from a howler from Alberta Beer Exchange.

Appearance - Pours a rusty orange with two fingers of off-white head.

Smell - plum, dark stone fruits, bready malts, earthy, leafy, and floral hops, hint of salt, and earthy yeast.

Taste - plum and dark stone fruits upfront. The bready malts and mild earthy, leafy, and floral hops follow suit. The salt is there but is overpowered by the plum and and malts. The earthy yeast rounds out the brew.

Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes off-dry and slightly tart. The plum and malts linger.

Overall - A brew that is decent at it's attempt at the style. The elements are there but it needs a little more oomph. I wish there was more plum and salt to to make it more true to the style. Besides that, a respectable brew.

473ml can - a 'Plum Gose', and also a reference to the board-game Clue, I presume, professor.

This beer pours a turbid, medium dishwater brown colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and mildly bubbly off-white head, which leaves a bit of approaching headland profile lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.

It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, faint black stone fruit, a subtle earthy yeastiness, and very tame leafy, floral, and herbal green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, some ethereal mixed pome and plum fruitiness, dead yeast cells, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and essentially smooth, with nothing going on here that might be a cause for concern at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the Alberta malt running a one-man lingering show.

Overall - yeah, this one just doesn't cut it (pun initially unintended). It's not sour at all, you can barely detect the plum, and it winds up just seeming like an unfiltered amber ale. I'm tempted to take the titular advice with the rest of this, but I don't feel like cleaning up the attendant mess.
