Big Hole Headstrong Pale Ale

Big ol’ can that gushed into my English pint glass. Warm tobacco leaf and mint aroma as this beer breathes, loaded with mulch and earth and yeast is absolutely intoxicating... I must say, this smelled pretty dull when I first opened it, but an hour later (I was watching a movie and kind of forgot about it) it has really transformed. The flavor is cookie, wet dog, mowin’ the lawn and marshmallow pie. Word to the wise: let this beer breathe and drink it warm, you won’t regret it. First impressions I would’ve given this a 3.2.

good initial hop flavour, quickly diminishing head with a nice strong hop palate. Nothing particularly outstanding about this beer, but a pretty solid pale ale nonetheless.

Pretty nice looking gold yellow beer. Head is pretty low and fades out quickly. Hoppy floral aroma. Good touch of bitterness. Maybe a little too thin. A good beer!

a smell of metal and hops, an orangey gold colour with a fading head. big taste of flowery hops and a bit of teabiscuit and a nice maltiness. a pleasing thick mouthfeel.

473 ml can. Pours a clear slightly yellowish gold with good white head. Nice floral hoppy aroma with a hint of sweet malts. Flavour is sweet with notes of fruit, citrus and grass. Somewhat bitter finish. Decent session ale.

Pours copper with an excellent thick creamy white head. Aromas of hops and caramel malts. Tastes of meduim strong bitter hops with a touch of sweet caramel malt and a hint of citrus fruit. Good bitter finish that does not last too long. Above average Pale Ale.

I don’t know what’s the deal with the two HEadstrong being in different breweries, but anyway, the taste is superb. It is like a Belgian strong ale but with the Canadian touch.

canette de 500ml, bière passablement pale pour une pale ale, blonde presque avec une légère teinte cuivrée, nez agréable, bouche qui a une touche métallique, j’aime mieux les bouteilles
