8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - this was made with the help of Benny from the Mill Street brewery down in Calgary.
This beer appears a hazy, medium apricot yellow colour, with a thin cap of wispy and bubbly bone-white head, which leaves a few instances of diving orca aftermath lace around the glass as things slowly progress.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, orange and red grapefruit citrus rind, some zingy earthy spiciness, and further indistinct herbal green notes. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, coriander and black pepper spice, muddled domestic citrus peel, a hint of estery yeastiness, and more weird herbaceousness.
The carbonation is adequate in its structurally supportive frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, but for a bit of edgy spice maybe going off the reservation at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the malt and citrus exhibiting the most lingering fervour.
Overall - this comes across as a rather flavourful version of the style, as there must have been a fruit addition, if there was indeed no hops harmed in the production process here. Worth checking out, especially with the well-masked 7.7% ABV.
