12oz glass at the downtown brewpub. I do appreciate the humour displayed on the menu here, including this offering (a 'hopped sour ale'), which pokes fun at the current Edmonton cheerleader community motto.
This beer appears a rather hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with one chubby finger of puffy, finely foamy, and creamy off-white head, which leaves some layered cloud form lace around the glass as it slowly seeps out of existence.
It smells of tart tropical fruit, gritty and grainy cereal malt, some damp minerality, a hint of funky yeastiness, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, exotic tropical fruity notes, lesser Florida orchard additions, ephemeral yeast, and more edgy leafy, weedy, and verdant piney hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and as smooth as the sour fruitiness will allow at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the just mentioned sourness keeping it real in the lingering sphere.
Overall - this is certainly one of the better hoppy sours that I have ever had, nicely balanced, with no one attribute overstepping its bounds. Apropos of nothing (RIP Mom, the Detroit-style pizza here notwithstanding), I also just noticed that the blurb on the menu stresses that 'notebooks in hand' are unwelcome - good thing I have this multifunctional smartphone then, eh, hipster marketing morons?
