Timberhead Pilsner is Hudsons’ full-bodied pale golden lager crafted in the traditional Pilsner style. Spicy-hop aroma with a sweet malt finish. Its clean and crisp tones are sure to stir up memories of a dockside breeze or a blast of rinkside air.

Another one of Hudson's Canadian Taphouse's house beers, brewed by Big Rock.
This beer is a clear, golden color. Creamy white head, shades of lace, good retention (compared to the lager).
It smells of bready malt, a bit sweet and fruity, and earthy hops.
The taste is grainy malt, and some mild, musty and earthy hops. A bit of sourness at the finish.
Smooth mouth feel, good carbonation, medium body.
A decent beer, maybe not the spicy hops as advertised, but I will come back to this one.

The latest house brew for the Hudson's taphouse chain.
This beer appears a crystal clear, bright medium golden hue, with one finger of tight creamy white head, very nitro-esque, which leaves a pocked cement wall of lace in its wake, as it takes its time fading into oblivion. Pretty nice.
It smells of mild bready malt, a bit of generic orchard fruitiness, and earthy, leafy hops. The taste is more bready, fruity, grainy malt, a soft metallic twinge, and mildly weedy, musty hops.
The bubbles are the true star of this little sideshow - they are very fine, and palate lifting, lending to a smooth, almost creamy medium weight body. It finishes off-dry, the fruity malt parried only by a waning flinty edge and a near nil muddled dryness.
A pretty enjoyable pint, I have to say - middling, uninspired flavours, sure, but what a supporting cast, it just goes down so readily. The marketing indicates a 'traditional spicy hopped pilsner'. Actually drinking it indicates more of decent Cream Ale experience. I'll defer to the producers, here, since I don't want to jump the lager/ale boundary, based on one tapline's output.
