Summer Daze Pineapple Hef
Brewsters Brewing Company & Restaurant - Eleventh Avenue

8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square, a small batch made across the parking lot at their sister corporation.

This beer appears a hazy, pale golden straw colour, with one skinny finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some decent defrosting back windshield pattern lace around the glass as things slowly progress.

It smells of canned pineapple juice. some grainy and bready wheatiness, a bit of indistinct earthy spice, and some plain leafy, herbal, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy cereal malt, a rather muted generic pineapple fruitiness, ethereal black peppercorns, some ascending yeast, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and essentially smooth, as nothing really causes any manner of concern at this point in the game. It finishes trending dry, the frooty character pretty much having left the building.

Overall - yeah, the guest ingredient in this offering comes across as underwhelming, at best. Otherwise, what we have here is a capable enough Hefeweizen, and little more, I'm afraid to say.
