250ml glass at the taproom in the Oliver Exchange building on the edge of YEGDT (IMHO). Columbus, Galaxy, and Lemon Drop varietals employed here.

This beer appears a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with one chubby finger of puffy, rocky, and mildly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some random chunky and streaky lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, some indistinct tropical melon fruitiness, a hint of damp minerality, and more leafy, weedy, and perfumed floral hoppiness. The taste is bready and crackery caramel malt, some honeydew and kiwi exotic fruity notes, more less forward domestic citrus rind, and some fading earthy, musty, and piney green hop bitters.

The carbonation is adequate in its structurally supportive frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and more or less smooth, with just a wisp of hop acerbity making a notch in the surface sheen, it would seem. It finishes trending dry, natch, the starch extraction process exhibiting its heady lingering effects.

Overall - this is an enjoyable enough version of the yet newish (YMMV) style, nice and crisp and mouth-watering in its dictated dryness. But it doesn't suck the life out of the room, like a few local examples that I dutifully sampled not all that long ago.
