16oz pint at the Underground Edmonton.

This beer appears cloudy, dark apricot amber colour, with a thin cap of wispy, and mostly just bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some spindly and streaky lace around the glass as things gently subside.

It smells of musty 1970s saunas, semi-sweet caramel malt, somewhat sour cream, gritty and sappy pine notes, muddled citrus rind, and a touch of metallic alcohol. The taste is bready, grainy caramel malt, biscuity toffee, indistinct grocery aisle citrus, still musty forest and cigar box emanations, leafy pine resin, and kind of lemon vodka tinted alcohol esters.

The carbonation is actually active and engaging in its genial frothiness, the body a sturdy middleweight, and generally smooth, with a tiny creaminess arising as things warm. It finishes on the sweet side, the given tree bark character starting to wane, while the agreeable big west coast IPA essence carries on and on.

Various Canadian breweries have attempted this sort of thing over recent years, and from my recollection, only one (Flying Monkeys, FWIW) made it work. Anyways, this one is all right by said metric, both the wood and the IPA not really getting in each others' way.
