oUR CURRENT SEASONAL …
SPRING 2013 ~ KILTY BASTARD – SCOTTISH ALE
* BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND *
Spring ushers in our fresh take on a traditional Scottish Ale. The beer pours a ruby red amber colour producing a full, creamy white head. As you taste the beer, there is a definite malt undertone with a slight sweetness that compliments the hoppiness of the typical Scottish Ale. Kilty Bastard offers surprising hints of caramel with a slight essence of vanilla…a truly great looking, great tasting beer.
Try it – you’ll be glad you did. Slàinte mhath
past SEASONALS …
WINTER 2013 ~ APORKALYPSE NOW – OATMEAL BACON STOUT
Look into the heart of darkness of this pitch black beauty. Take in the sweet caramel and roasted malty notes on the nose with a suggestion of the bacon goodness within. This full-bodied, rich and creamy oatmeal stout trots out a bold, unbridled taste that comes from a unique infusion of local Ottawa Valley heritage-raised “Pork of Yore” fine bacon. Blending in roasted malt and oatmeal for a solid footing, this smooth, dark beer has the perfect finish hinting of the fine swine contained within.
FALL 2012 ~ FULL MONTY – ENGLISH BROWN ALE
At one time in England, before pales or stouts, Brown or running ales were the only commercially produced beer style. HogsBack’s Full Monty is tongue in cheekily named in honour of the recent exploits of Prince Harry in Las Vegas, Full Monty is a refreshing take on Britain’s original beer style brewed with lightly kilned malts giving it its signature brown colour and a light malty chocolate – somewhat nutty, caramelized flavor with sweet aroma and a slight bitter finish.
So rise to the occasion, head out to your favourite pub, and ask for the Full Monty.
SUMMER 2012 ~ SUNOFA BEACH – KRISTAL WHEAT
Sunny and hot, sunscreen on, shorts and swimwear ready …It’s summer and the green flag is up on our refreshing take on a Bavarian weizen wheat beer is brewed with a delicate combination of wheat malt and barley malt, filtered for clarity giving it a light golden hue. A light easy to drink, summery beer nicely balanced between sweet and dry.
Enjoy – The taste of the summer.
