Commercial Description:
Beau's flagship offering is Lug Tread Lagered Ale, named after the tire treads of a small tractor, a true symbol of Eastern Ontario. Golden-hued, crisp and finely balanced, Lug Tread is a tribute to “Kölsch” the classic beer of Cologne, Germany. Lug Tread is top fermented (like an ale) and then cold aged, or “lagered”, for a lengthy period. This gives it some light ale notes, complemented by a lager-like crispness.

Draught from Pub Italia. Beer is clear goldem with a medium foamy head with average retention that leaves some lacing on the glass. Faint aroma of malt and herbal hops but I drank it in a restaurant at lunch time so there was many invasive smells. I might have to try it again to have a better take on this aspect of the beer. Body is medium with a somewhat oily mouthfeel and modest carbonation.. Taste is crispy malt, herbal and floral hops, and a hint of citrus with a clean finish and a nicely balanced malty/bitter aftertaste. It is by nothing exceptionnal, but a verty good everyday beer.

A fine ale. Bought from the brewery. Crisp taste that is pleasant. Nothing noteworthy but something I’d revisit.

750 ml ceramic bottle from a trade with jessem. bottled january 19th 2009. pours beautiful hazy golden with a mid sized white head. soft subtle carbonation. aroma of bready lager malts, with some grassy hops, very inviting. im actually salivating at this aroma and thats quite rare. the flavours are sweet bready malts leading to a dry hop finish. there are yeasty aspects throughout the aroma and flavour but they play a background role. this brew is very reminicent of the grand river lagers. the difference is the lack of mineral bitterness that grand river has in it water. i really wish this was available locally because it would be a regular purchase for me. thanks for hooking me up jesse!!

750 mL clay swingtop bottle - very nice. (Rated at 5.2%). Pale copper orange with a small white head. Sharp aroma of hay and grain. Taste is fresh, slightly sweet pilsner malt and a touch of noble hops. Slight bitterness in the finish. Medium body. Not quite as crisp as it could be. But a nice attempt at a style not often (ever?) found in Ontario.

750 ceramic bottle, courtesy of my bro - pours a clear, dark gold with a good thick white head. Faint, enjoyable aroma of apples, yeast, and sweet grain. Flavour mild but quaffable - some diacetyl lending buttered popcorn notes, along with a clean lager finish. Honest beer.

Bouteille de 750 ml. La bière est de couleur miel trouble avec un col de mousse modeste. Au nez on respire des arômes de céréales mielleuses et de fruits jaunes. En bouche le corps est moyen avec une effervescence faible. On goûte des saveurs fruitées de pêche, de miel avec une bonne présence de grain et une finale subtilement houblonnée.

Draught from the Manx. Poured a slightly hazy golden yellow with an average white head. Aromas of grain, yeast, and hops. Initial flavour of sweet grains, gave way to a moderate bitter finish. A nice beer to try, but not something I would look for.

750ml ceramic bottle, pours a very slightly hazy straw colour with a very thin head. Nose is a little skunky and faintly spicy. Flavour is much the same. Not really skunky, but a tiny bit spicy. It’s a bit watery, in flavour and in the mouth. It has some sweet caramel notes especially as it warms up a bit. Carbonation is low but alright, and it is a bit watered down.
