Granite Brewery Summer Ale

Extra dry hopped, least liked of blind tasting of six casks at Bar Volo. Cloudy yellow, minimal head. Very Malty, too malty, some hops. Mid sip hint of citrus. Thin body,fresh, clean and drinkable. No carbonation.

Draught at the Granite brewpub in Toronto. Pours a cloudy yellow-orange with a small mostly diminishing white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is fruity and hoppy with a touch of malt. There was also a faint egg (sulfur?) aroma but it didn’t detract much. Mild hoppy flavour with some grain and wheat and a light bitter finish. Light bodied. A decent enough summer patio beer.

Draught. At the Granite brewpub, Toronto. Poured slightly hazy amber-orange with a small head. Light aroma of fresh grain, sweet fruit, very lightly toasted malt and some dry perfumy hops. Taste is similar, just grainier and sweeter - it’s a decent patio beer, a little thin with an incredibly quick finish, quite fresh. Pretty unmemorable mouthfeel - soft and a bit watery, but again a good summer patio beer, pitchers would not be refused.

cask. cloudy orange with some flecks of yeast and a creamy white head. aroma is floral hops. it’s overall quite mild with faint fruit notes and cereal grains. a decent quaff.

on tap. a little flat. no head. taste is decent showing some hops but not enough to make it interesting. thin.

Cloudy orange/gold with thin head. Sweet peach nose and some cream. Light, musty, bitter finish, though this appears a bit over the hill.

Pours light amber, little sudsy milky head. Fruity hop areoma. Lemon and yeast. Dull brown sugary malts. Some metalic notes. Kind of like a dumbed down IPA.

A bit eggy in the aroma department, sulphur notes. Tart and cidery. I was disappointed in this.
