16oz glass at Beer Rev YEG.

This beer appears a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with one thin finger of loosely foamy, and bubbly white head, which leaves a bit of island atoll lace around the glass as it swiftly abates.

It smells of grainy pale malt, wheat crackers, earthy yeast, soft muddled orchard fruit, and grassy, leafy hops. The taste is doughy pale malt, a hint of caramel, mixed apple, pear, and banana chip fruitiness, mildly sassy yeast, and a reduced leafy, weedy hoppiness.

The carbonation is pretty low-key, and barely noticeable at times, the body a tremulous medium weight, and generally smooth, a slight clamminess arising as things warm up a tad. It finishes on the sweet side, the doughy malt starting to really toss its heft around.

Another usually underwhelmingly rendered style, though pepped-up by some good ol' TLC - make the malt the star, don't underfund it, and keep at least a modicum of noble hops in yer stable. Good job, Foothills Brewsters, this is a respectable summer quaffer, agreeable, I imagine, for the simmering white pavement heat of the titular exhibition's fairgrounds.
