COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This Northwest style amber ale is well balanced with just enough malt presence to keep the bold hop presence in check. The Northwest hops yield abundant citrus aromas and flavours, with a slight earthiness. This crisp ale has a medium dry finish, helping to showcase the hop contributions. Not quite an IPA, but certainly bolder than a Pale Ale. A rich and rustic, highly sessionable ale that pairs with your favourite spicy dish. NB: silver medal winner at the 2014 Canadian Brewing Awards!

Night beers once again getting reviewed poorly on the wolf willow stairwell. Getting eaten alive by mosquitos and my beer is warm and mostly gone. Drank a 650 of this earlier so whatevs. Bottle looks like a bottle. Short hop bump gets replaced my middle of the road malty things. Faint citrus. Dammit. It’s waaaay to warm to remotely enjoy and specify qualities. Oh well. It’s a well made just above run of the mill small brewery standard fare for the masses. Enjoyable and clean minus any adventure.

For an amber ale this was very bitter. Amber body white foamy head good retention. Pine aroma with a malt balance. Taste is quite bitter almost medicinal with a sweet German malt finish. Much hoppier and better than expected. Almost like an APA.

ENG: 650ml bottle from Liquor Mart in Winnipeg (brand new import to Manitoba), poured into the Teku. Highly opalescent, amber color with small, tan head, and bit of lacing. Aromas are mostly malts, some caramel, with just a hint of hops. Tastes malty and caramelly, not really hoppy. Quite bitter though. Medium carbonation, medium body. Overall that’s a good beer if you like it malty and bitter.

PL: Butelka 650ml kupiona w Liquor Mart w Winnipeg (piwo pierwszy raz w Manitobie), przelane do Teku. Barwa mocno opalizująca, bursztynowa, piana jasna, niewielka, nieco lejsingu. Aromaty głównie słodowe, karmelowe, w tle nieco chmielu. W smaku słody, karmel, chmiel nie jest wyczuwalny. Mimo to dość spora goryczka. Średnie nasycenie, średnie odczucie w ustach. Podsumowując jeżeli lubisz piwa o charakterze słodowym, a do tego goryczkowe, to polecam.

A surprisingly nice amber ale. Pours a dusky burnt orange. A bit of citrus in the aromas as well as sweet malts. Nice hop flavours.. Citrus forward with a bit of tang in the finish. Nice.

650ml bottle. Grain-and-bready malt, earthy caramel notes, resiny hop. Well-carbonated. Mildly sweet with an easy bitter finish. Light-leaning.

Gerbeer (2462) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - NOV 6, 2014
Pours amber with a moderate head that dissipates quickly. Lots of carbonation. Light aromas of pine, toffee, and raisins. Flavors of toasted malts, light pine, and grass. light bitter finish. Pretty straightforward.

reebtogi (4970) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - SEP 25, 2014
650ml bottle pours a pale amber color with a finger of white head that leaves some spotty lacing behind. Aroma is citrus and cereal grains with hints of caramel. Taste is a citrus hop bitterness with a grainy and caramel malty sweetness. Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A nicely done amber ale that is balanced and tasty and worth checking out.

vadie (1078) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 12, 2014
Jaune brillant avec une mousse moyenne blanche. L’arôme du caramel avec d’houblon qui lui donne un peu de pin. Le goût est assez amer avec un peu du caramel d’abord. Carbonatation haut pour le style.

Pours golden with a frothy white top. Aroma is light pine hops and caramel malts. Taste is slightly hoppy, slightly caramel, slightly earthy malt. Solid beer but fairly mainstream.
