Autumn; the air cools, harvest is upon us, and the leaves explode into a canopy of vibrant colours. Not only the perfect time for a morning run but also harvest and our chance to brew beers with fresh hops straight off the vine. Bringing the world of hops and running together, Winding Run harvest lagered ale uses hops from Backroads Hop farm. Floral, spicy aromas dance on a bed of bready malt, creating a refreshing post-run brew!
INGREDIENTS
Water: Pure Muskoka Water
Barley/Malt: 2-Row, Vienna Malt, Caramunich I Malt
Hops:
Backroads Hop Farm
Yeast:
Einstein Lager

At my lady Pamela's house; canned and chilled, 473mL in a pint glass. From the Huron Church Rd. LCBO in nearby Windsor. Canned September 11/25. My 7th beer from the Gravenhurst, Ontario brewery, and 5th for 2025. Adamantly adored by Gracie the cat...

473 ml can served cold into a pint glass. LCBO purchase.
Appearance - Clear golden color with a finger of white head. Moderate staying power.
Smell - Clean and grainy, not much else going on. A bit subdued.
Taste - Mostly bread and grain, not off flavors and sufficiently intense in flavor. A very solid and straightforward beer without being great. Nonetheless eminently drinkable.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied, modest carbonation and medium bodied. Easy to drink in large quantities and quickly if need be.
Overall Perfectly acceptable Kolsch that tastes good, but lacking anything that makes it stand out well above the crowd. That said would happily purchase again.
