12oz glass at the brewpub in the old Characters restaurant in the heart of the warehouse district in downtown Edmonton. A 'tropical hazy IPA'.

This beer appears a very cloudy, dark apricot amber colour, with one thick finger of puffy, finely foamy, and creamy beige head, which leaves some decent dissolving snow rime lace around the glass as it lazily seeps out of sight.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, sharply tart orange, lemon, and white grapefruit citrus pith, a slight hint of yeasty funkiness, some damp minerality, and more leafy, herbal, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, blended domestic citrus rind, a further indistinct exotic fruitiness, and more leafy, weedy, and sort of stale piney hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and essentially smooth, with little existing here that might get its hackles up, as such. It finishes off-dry, the malt and confused seeming hops working it out amongst the lingering embers.

Overall - a pleasant enough, though hardly impressive version of the sub-style, as the purported tropical 'character' fails to materialize. No sign of the extra 2 points of ABV, which I will accept as a consolation prize at this point.
