20oz pint at the Hudson's in Oliver. The latest contract brew from Big Rock for this pub chain.
This beer appears a clear, medium bronzed amber hue, with one finger of wispy, very loosely foamy ecru head, which leaves some rather minor islet speck lace around the glass as things drop away.
It smells smartly of metallic gingerbread-like caramel malt, cinnamon rolls, mildly spicy cloves, and ethereal earthy, musty hops. The taste is more bready caramel malt, well-infused with ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg spice - much like the molasses spice cookies my wife has been eating all this week - a subtle hint of citrus, and more earthy, weedy hops.
The carbonation is a bit peppy, and generally easy-going, the body a decently hefty middleweight, and actually pretty smooth. It finishes off-dry, the spiced caramel sweetness playing things out, with a wee booze warming finally tickling my tummy.
A more or less pleasant seasonal spiced ale, for this one, or all the way up to the New Year, it would seem. This sure does feel a lot like Big Rock's Spiced Winter Ale, though, with a more Canadian-specific (or perhaps just plain pandering) moniker.
