16oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Newsflash - local brewpub takes a stab at the IPA trend du jour. Let's see how they make out, folks!

This beer appears a slightly hazy, medium apricot yellow colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some pockmarked limestone wall lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, muddled domestic citrus peel, some hard water flintiness, and more understated earthy, leafy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, faint orange and white grapefruit citrus rind, a damp minerality, and more understated earthy, musty, and floral verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly active in its palate-probing frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any sort of trouble at this particular point in the game. It finishes trending dry, just like it should be.

Overall - this is an agreeable enough version of the style, as the boys at Oliver Square seem to have nailed the drying aspect stone cold. Worth checking out, IMHO.
