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.

Clear gold, effervescent; light head. Slightly dirty aroma of corn. Cleaner crisper flavor. Interesting.

Clear golden coloured beer with small white head and only very few carbonation. Fruity nose bit hopped. Full sparkling palate. Finish is slightly bitter ending dry.

DRANK AT EARL OF SUSSEX PUB ON TAP. Dull gold with a good white cap. The aroma is mainly sweet mild grainy malts with nice apple & weak hops. Taste: nice mild, yet perfect spice, hops, zip, good bitterness, some grain, a touch watery. Zip, yip! Average but very fresh. I love the location of this pub!

750ml ceramic bottle poured into a pint glass. Beer was bottle on Sept. 4th. It’s fresh and there’s no chance of skunkiness. Poured a clear golden color with a 3/4" head. Pretty good lacing throughout. Aroma of bread, herbs, hint of fruits. Overall the aroma is a bit mild. Taste of malty sweetness at first, then some fruity sour notes (lemons, hint of apples, hint of berries), with a hoppy bitter finish. I found the bitterness is just a little off. The taste got better as it warmed up. Mouthfeel is pretty good. Tangy & crisp. It’s easy to drink. I was surprised how quickly it went down. It’s local. It’s good. But it’s expensive. At almost $8 a 750ml bottle it’s hard to justify drinking this regularly.

Unpleasant bitterness with no real depth of flavour. Not quite sure what I’m missing in this beer but its definitely not for me. It must have something going for it being a big time award winner though. Maybe I’ll try it again some day and see if my tastes have changed.

Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head. Aroma of hay and pale malt. Flavor of pale malt, hay and hops. The body is light and creamy while the carbonation is lively.

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.
