650ml bottle - the first of four new brews that Fernie is releasing this month. Can they say 'Trappist Ale' unqualified on the label, and not face a cease and desist order?
This beer pours a slightly hazy, bright medium golden yellow colour, with three zaftig fingers of puffy, rocky, and mildly bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some decent layered streaky lace around the glass as it slowly and surely sinks away.
It smells of lightly toasted, bready and grainy cereal malt, white wine lees, stewed apples, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a muddled pome fruitiness, candi sugar, a touch of estery and spicy yeast, and more understated earthy, herbal, and gently perfumed floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and sort of smooth, as a minor pithy character emerges as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes trending dry, the straight-up grainy malt making a lingering dash for glory.
Overall - this comes across as an agreeable enough version of the style, made by apparently earnest admirers of, and not actual Trappists. Just a suggestion of cold booze astringency, which is to be expected, and easy to put back once one becomes accustomed to it. Good stuff.
