20oz pint at the Edmonton Oliver location, brewed by Gunther for the World Triathlon Grand Final to be held here later this month.

This beer appears a crystal clear, bright medium golden yellow hue, with one finger of loosely foamy and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a few streaks of coral reef lace around the glass as things gradually recede.

It smells of bready, crackery pale malt, wheaty cereal grain, mineral water, and earthy, leafy, and floral hops. The taste is semi-sweet, slightly doughy cereal, mildly spicy wheat, ethereal lemon citrus, and more pleasantly muddled grassy, leafy, and floral noble hops.

The carbonation is fairly low-key, barely mustering up a weak frothiness, the body just on the light side of medium weight, and generally smooth, with a nascent airy creaminess building as it warms. It finishes off-dry, the spicy wheat still going toe to toe with the doughy pale malt, while the hops start a slow, meandering decline.

A decent enough rendition of the style, with a nice balance achieved between the crisp and the bready, with the hop bitterness filling in the cracks, at best. Good as an after work salve on yet another unusually humid Alberta summer day.
