473ml can - well, I seem to have added this rural YEG brewery over a year ago here, to absolutely zero acclaim thus far. Big fucking surprise. Anyways, back to the heavy lifting (and yes, that's somewhat of a dipshit truck-owner reference).

This beer pours a hazy, yet bright pale golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, rocky, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some random splattered chunky and sudsy lace around the glass as it rather lazily sinks out of sight.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some plain Pez candy chalkiness, faint domestic fruitiness notes, and an underwhelming leafy, musty, and herbal green hoppiness. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, a muddled bowl of unbridled tropical fruity esters, more damp minerality, and some equitable earthy, herbal, and dank piney hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its palate-engorging frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and essentially smooth, by which I mean, devoid of any interference (which is not a sign of quality, in and of itself). It finishes trending dry, natch, the enzymatic attrition doing its lingering thaaaaannng.

Overall - yeah, I don't actually dislike this offering, it's more that this offering shouldn't really like me. Huh. Anyways, the label is redolent of the shitty video game music video (yeah, that's a thing now) imagery my kid seems to be into at the moment. Wait until I finally introduce him to AIC's 'Them Bones' - #dustriserightonovermytime
