355ml can - I love it when the marketing blurb suggests just about every possible scenario in which to consume their product. Just say 'Drink Me!', already.
This beer pours a clear, medium bronzed amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly beige head, which leaves a bit of thickly webbed lace around the glass as it evenly sinks out of sight.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some bruised pome fruitiness, toffee, and some plain earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is biscuity and bready caramel malt, baked red apples, overripe pears, a damp minerality, and more understated leafy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-pleasing frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time at this particular point in the game. It finishes off-dry, the biscuity malt showing some lingering brio.
Overall - this is a pretty agreeable ESB-like brew, so I don't know why they call it what they do, when their tagline is 'Famous Beer Styles Brewed in Calgary'. At any rate, lots of flavour going on here, and worth checking out, especially if you're a fan of the 'famous' style, as am I.
