8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - I know these guys can their products, so get some up Highway 2 already!
This beer appears a somewhat hazy, medium bronzed amber colour, with one finger of puffy, finely foamy, and sort of creamy ecru head, which leaves a few instances of ocean plume pattern lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, some bruised pome fruitiness, wet raisins, and faint earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready caramel malt, baked red apples, a further indistinct black stone fruitiness, and more well-understated herbal, leafy, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its structurally supportive frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt pretty much the only lingering game in town.
Overall - this comes off as a credible enough version of the old-school style, if not exactly an interesting one. With a few tweaks to increase the complexity, they could be onto something here. Nobody lost or won, it's more like a tie - pucker up, Sis!
