12oz chalice at Beer Revolution Oliver in Edmonton.
This beer appears a clear, bright medium copper amber hue, with one prominent finger of puffy, tightly foamy, and creamy bone-white head, which leaves a stellar pitted array of limestone cliff lace around the glass as it gently subsides.
It smells of sharp white grapefruit and underripe orange citrus rind, gritty, grainy pale malt, a touch of biscuity caramel sweetness, way too ethereal barrel notes - mostly wood and sugar-free vanilla - and further leafy and floral hops, one well informed by a certain alcohol measure. The taste is bready, grainy pale and caramel malt, weirdly tainted orchard fruit (hello barrel, this is Brady), equally muted citrus and piney hops, and the now more evident, if not particularly normal woodiness one might be expecting here (or not, your mileage may vary).
The bubbles are adequately supportive in their plain frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, neither the wood nor the hops really seeming to give a shit about mucking around here. It finishes surprisingly dry, the guest aging element finally coming around to bear.
Another weak attempt by Brewsters to apply a barrel treatment to well, something that doesn't need it, only here, you can barely even tell - which I suppose is a benefit to we non-believers in the concept. At any rate, easy enough to put back, I guess, for its purported strength.
