32 IBU. A pub classic, this traditional English inspired Pub Ale is brewed with Canadian malted barley and locally grown hops. It's malt forward with subtle notes of caramel, biscuit, and toffee.

At my lady Pamela's house; canned and chilled, 473mL in a pint glass. From my favourite LCBO at Tecumseh Mall in nearby Windsor. My second beer from the Chatham, Ontario brewery, and first for 2025.

Pours a clear amber color with a sudsy oatmeal colored head that leaves a nice amount of lacing. Beautiful EPA. The nose has a little bit of grassy hops and a nice malt backbone, with nutty aromas mixing with a bit of caramel and wheat bread, which is exactly wheee the taste lands.
A medium, crisp mouthfeel adds to the drinkability. This is a multi-pint beer, IMHO. Very nice.

This beer is the usual go to in Chatham Kent. I know tons of people that will go to Sons of Kent and pick up some good old 1792. It's a traditional english ale brewed with Maris Otter, and East Kent Goldings! The hop aroma is quite nice and no too overpowering. If no one knows about the name behind it it is when Chatham was founded! Many people from around here love the name and the history behind it!

I don't usually go for an English Ale right off the bat, but I saw that this is one of the craft beers Sons carries at the LCBO. It has a full bodied taste and feel and a nutty Finish.
I'm new to Beer Advocate, but I'd give this beer a try if you see it on the shelves. They have a "Beer Locator" to find their stuff too. Clever.

Tallboy picked up at a Sarnia-area TBS; dated Mar 29 2018 and served at cellar temperature.
Pours a bright, clear amber colour, with approximately one inch of loose, soapy, off white-tinged head that settles off within the next several minutes. A bubbly collar remains, along with a few scant smatterings of seafoam lace; looks fine to me. Slightly sweet on the nose, with bready, doughy malts and some caramelized sweetness, backed up by a pleasantly English-style hop bill. Leafy, earthy and a tad floral, with hints of orange marmalade.
A properly-made English ale with simple, clean, and (above all) balanced flavours; the malts and hops exist in that perfect ratio that makes for a super-drinkable, real pub ale. Doughy, bready malts and caramelized sweetness are apparent, augmented by hints of toasted nuts, and deftly countered by the East Kent Goldings that come to dominate the back end. They provide a tea-leafy, slightly floral bitterness, with shades of orange and hoppy spiciness. Light in body, with soft carbonation levels that provide little resistance, resulting in a very smooth, flattish sort of mouthfeel that I don't mind in this style.
Final Grade: 3.68, a B grade. I was lukewarm at first, but 1792 English Ale quickly grew on me - though keep in mind, I cut my craft beer teeth on these British-type pale ales, so I've always had a fondness for this sort of stuff. It's a decent product that I'm sure I will pick up once in a while - but mostly just to support the local guys, because the truth is that a lot of the British imports are better, and typically cheaper. Nothing too exciting, but fine for what it is.
