12oz sleeve at the new brewpub in downtown YEG.

This beer appears a thickly murky, dark apricot colour, with one finger of puffy, tightly foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some decent defrosting back windshield pattern lace around the glass as things slowly progress here.

It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, muddled orange and red grapefruit citrus peel, some damp minerality, and more leafy, weedy, and piney green hop bitterness. The taste is Creamsicles, gritty and grainy caramel malt, wet stone paths after a hard rain, and some earthy, musty, and resinous piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-pleasing frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt and citrus frootiness working it like they bought and paid for it.

Overall - this comes across as a stellar, um, light brew, as the constituent flavours belie that fact. Quite worth sampling, in small or large quantities, which I suppose is the whole point of such a thing, yeah?
