Our limited edition Dakota Pearl Potato Ale takes its inspiration from the premium quality, locally grown Dakota Pearl potatoes we use in John Picard’s irresistible Extreme Kettle Chips.
The result is a golden beige brew featuring a light, frothy head and crisp refreshing carbonation. The earthy tones of the Dakota Pearls blend with our very own Brewery Farm hops creating a floral and citrusy aroma, and a deliciously satisfying finish. This is a unique cream ale, infused with real potato goodness. Enjoy!

Not much to this beer beyond the standard taste of a lager/mild ale. There is the small taste which must come from the potatoes, but for an IPA drinker like myself, there is really not much going on with this beer in the taste department. Tried it once because it was on the menu at a place with no interesting beer; will not bother with this again.

Bucky and his entourage descended upon Ramblin’ Road Brewery Farm, located near La Salette, Ontario in Norfolk County, to sample their wares. First up was their Dakota Pearl Ale (“DPA”), sold from the Farm’s own retail store in a brown, 341 ml bottle. DPA was 5.0% alcohol by volume, and is unique in that it is made using the same Dakota Pearl potatoes used to produce the farm’s beer washed kettle chips.
DPA poured a perfectly clear golden yellow colour with some slow rising carbonation bubbles. An aggressive pour produced about 1” of pure white head that quickly faded to a thin film, leaving some modest lacing down the glass. The beer’s aroma was a combination of lemon and the earthy smell of potatoes stored in a cold cellar. Interesting! DPA’s flavour very much followed its aroma, sweet up front, followed by a certain earthiness and lemon citrus, with a slightly bitter finish. A very refreshing brew and Bucky’s personal favourite among the Farm’s 4 offerings, which can be sampled in its retail store. DPA is a light bodied beer with a modest carbonation level and dry mouth feel. A few points added to our rating for the innovative use of potatoes in the beer making process!

Poured from a 341 mL bottle into a church key pint glass. Aggressive pour yielded a half inch white foamy head that did not last more than a few minutes.
A: Very pale yellow with a slight amber tinge.
S: Very weak watered down white wine.
T: Not much going on here. Similar to the nose. Slightly white wine but watered down. Slightly sweet, slightly tart. Very little in the way of anything that resembles hops. Not bad taste just not that great.
M: Thin and watery. Carbonation is okay though.
O: A decent attempt at something unique, but just not all that great.
