250ml glass in YEG Oliver West, where it is currently sunny and snowing - aaah, March.

This beer appears a clear, bright medium bronzed amber colour, with a thin cap of puffy, broadly foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some streaky citrus cloud profile lace around the glass as it evenly dissipates.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, muddled plum, black cherry, and prune flesh, some earthy spiciness, a hint of wayward yeast, and some very tame leafy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness. The taste is grainy and crackery cereal malt, some mixed bruised pome fruity notes, kind of pithy, if still spicy yeast, and more understated earthy, musty, and musky floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its palate-pleasing frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really a cause for concern at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, but not by much, as the lack of added sugar (per Jakob, thanks!) is appreciable enough.

Overall - this comes across as a dutifully rendered ode to the old-school style, reimagined in a burgeoning Alberta manner. Crisp, easy to sip away at, while the Gorillaz play on repeat - my kind of scene, man!
