COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The base of the beer includes English two-row malt and pale crystal malts, establishing an understated sweetness. To give Hugh Malone its hop character we use generous portions of Simcoe hops at three points in the brewing process. To begin with, we use a technique referred to as first wort hopping, in which Simcoe is added to the sweet wort as it enters the kettle. When the wort comes to a boil in the kettle we add Warrior hops, adding another layer to the bitterness of the beer. Later in the brewing process we steep a large amount of Simcoe in the whirlpool to impart a distinct hop aroma. Finally, during secondary fermentation in our conditioning tanks, we dry hop the beer, which instills a hoppy aroma with notes of pine and grapefruit. This 8.5 % ABV ale has a malty palate and a pronounced bitterness. It has a pleasant dry, hoppy finish. Original Gravity: 1080 by volume. Recommended Serving Temp: 45 degrees to 50 degrees F. Recommended Cellaring Temp: 55 degrees F

Oakes (10184) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - OCT 4, 2008
Hazy golden-amber with a fairly thick head. The aroma is rich with Belgian yeast - musty, footy, with fresh bread, herbal hops and dried fruit. Starts sweet, with almost candied herbs. From there a more bitter note emerges. Even to the finish it remains fairly sticky. While this does not entirely fit, it’s not too disjointed - I still like it but those hop flavours and especially aromas have my craving something drier.

(750ml Bottle) Pours a hazy amber body with a medium white head. Aroma of herbs, orange, toasted bread, caramel, and earthiness. Flavor of herbs, caramel, oak, rotten peaches, and funkiness. Completely out of whack…
