Hazy IPA
Brewsters Brewing Company & Restaurant - Eleventh Avenue

8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - made across the parking lot.

This beer appears a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some pitted limestone wall lace around the glass as things evenly subside.

It smells of semi-sweet, grainy and bready cereal malt, some mixed dark berry fruitiness, and plain earthy, leafy, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, muddled domestic citrus rind, some damp minerality, and more understated leafy, herbal, and dead floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is rather meek in its perfunctory-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really causing any sort of commotion at this point in the game. It finishes off-dry, the malt and fading frooty esters holding the lingering court.

Overall - this comes across as a sort of haphazard version of the style, like corners were cut, or last minute changes were necessary. At any rate, I am not exactly feeling this one.
