16oz glass at the Century Park location - one of their current summer seasonals. Yeah, I know, but I suppose that brewers can't predict the weather, eh?

This beer appears a mostly clear, medium copper amber colour, with one finger of puffy, rocky, and sort of shiny bone-white head, which leaves some thick swaths of blotchy lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of rich passionfruit, bready and doughy cereal malt, honeyed crackers, a further mixed red berry essence, some mild stoney flintiness, and understated leafy, floral, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, straight-up passionfruit juice, muddled domestic citrus rind, a damp minerality, and more tame earthy, herbal, and musky floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly low-key in its innocuous-seeming frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a suggestion of hop acridity marring the surface sheen at this point in the game. It finishes trending dry, the bitterness edging out the lingering frooty character.

Overall - it may be a one-trick pony, but at least they brought the advertised goods. Crisp, refreshing, and easy to put back, before heading back out into what constitutes the end of summer 2018 in Edmonton, i.e. snow.
