8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. I wonder how this is different from the Cascadian or Flying Frog lagers that they have previously put out?

This beer appears a clear, medium copper amber colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves very little in the way of lace anywhere near the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, baked apples and pears, a hint of earthy yeastiness, and very subtle leafy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready caramel malt, a bit of biscuity toffee, some muddled domestic pome fruitiness, fading yeasty notes, and more well understated earthy, herbal, and floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is average in its workaday frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a swell time here. It finishes off-dry, the biscuity malt scripting the lingering story.

Overall - this is an agreeable enough version of this old-school style, one which I imagine Gunther had at least a small hand in conceiving. Crisp, and rather easy to put back as I watch those dreaded Croats best bloody England in the World Cup semis.
