Commercial Description:
Holyoke Dam Ale is brewed in an English style, using open fermenters and a top fermenting American yeast. We use the finest Canadian English malts. Our Ale is mildly hopped and is intentionally brewed to leave some residual sugars. This combination gives it a refreshingly smooth and malty taste.

Nice bitter. Lightly sweet malty flavor with a slight metallic edge that actually adds to the beer. Nothing super special, or anything, but a well made, tasty beer that is pleasant to drink.

good session beer that poured a true amber hue with a thin white head. Aroma was mostly sweet. Flavor was initially sweet that turned into a balance between bittering hops and a earthy malt presence. Finish was somewhat dry.

Draught at TDR Ex: Faint aroma of caramel and bubblegum. Poured amber in color with a small, rocky, white head. Hazy. Slightly sparkling. Flavor of chocolate, toasted malts, roasted malts, caramel, and bubblegum. Medium body. Thin, watery, then dry texture. Average carbonation. Dryish finish.

Bottle. Pours a copper brown with 2 fingers of tan head and a minimal, malty aroma. Flavor is boring... caramel malt and apple juice concentrate with a touch of grassy hops and wood. Ho hum...
