8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. I added this one here over a year ago, and then the last keg kicked before the bartender could fill my order. Oh well, hopefully good things come to those who wait.

Thus beer appears a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with one skinny finger of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy bone-white head, which leaves a few instances of remote islet lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.

It smells of grainy and crackery cereal malt, a faint suggestion of gasohol, some mild pome fruitiness, and plain earthy, leafy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, a further cereal graininess, overripe apples, still ephemeral petrol notes, and more understated leafy, herbal, and floral verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly laid-back in its quotidian frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, but for a bit of hoppy astringency mulling about here. It finishes trending dry, the crackery malt and fading hops landing as such.

Overall - this comes across as a pleasantly rendered version of the style, hopped just enough to engender visions of comparisons to the better examples from das Vaterland available in Alberta. I wonder how much Gunther had to do with the brewing process here?
