18oz glass (I think) at the Edmonton Oliver location.
This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber hue, with one finger of weakly foamy, and mostly just creamy beige head, which leaves a solid wash of randomly pockmarked lace around the glass as it lazily recedes.
It smells of sharp, musty ginger, muddled blood orange and white grapefruit bitters, grainy, mildly bready caramel malt, a hint of yeast, and some soft earthy and leafy green esters. The taste is light ginger root, doughy, grainy caramel malt, aged lemon, orange, and grapefruit rind, sort of phenolic yeast, and more prominent leafy, weedy hops.
The bubbles are fairly peppy in their plain, workaday frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, the ginger and hop acridity ganging up on the poor mouthfeel. It finishes off-dry, and somewhat spicy, with a strong clammy malt counter punch.
One of the weaker ginger brews I've had of late, and I don't think it's actually the ginger's fault. The underlying hoppy pale ale takes a rather large chunk out of its effectiveness, competing, instead of supporting and complementing. Overall, not a bad brew, but don't go in expecting a ginger-forward deal.
