16oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - just across the snowy parking lot from where this stuff was brewed.
This beer appears a slightly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves but a few instances of ocean spume lace around the glass as it quickly wisps away.
It smells of bready and doughy cereal malt, buttery crackers, a subtle earthy yeastiness, faint muddled spice, and very tame leafy, herbal, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and bready pale malt, a lesser grainy wheatiness, buttered popcorn, kind of musty yeast, ethereal black peppercorns, and more well understated earthy, leafy, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and more or less smooth, in a buttered biscuit manner, that is. It finishes off-dry, the slick malt not seeing a lot in the way of any lingering company.
Overall - yeah, I don't know what exactly is supposed to make this a 'YEG' Saison (except for this city's denizens' penchant for overusing the tag, yours truly included), but I'm guessing that it's not diacetyl. My pre-schooler asked me what this tasted like, and the best answer that I could give him was 'Bretons'. Back to the ol' drawing board, methinks.
