8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. The name seems to reference a hill in Ireland, so I have no idea what the dudes across the parking lot are trying to get at.
This beer appears a clear, dark red-tinted brown colour, with a thin cap of wispy and weakly bubbly off-white head, which leaves a decent array of painted lace around the glass as things slowly abate.
It smells of semi-sweet, bready and doughy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, some muddled pome fruitiness, and faint earthy, musty, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, toffee squares, molasses, baked red apples, some free-range ashiness, and more understated earthy, leafy, and grassy green hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and more or less smooth, with just a touch of smoke getting fresh with my various sensibilities here. It finishes off-dry, the biscuity malt writing the lingering epilogue.
Overall - this comes across as a fairly good representation of the old-school style, nice and malty, with a subtle smokiness that seems to grow as things warm up a tad. At any rate, the boys over there know their beer, if not their geography.
