Spinnakers Iceberg Pale Ale

Cask handpull at Spinnaker’s, Victoria. Floral aromatic, like smelling roses. Perfumed even in mouth. Rather nice, but overly perfumed for me.

Bottle. Cascade and chinook hop nose. Hazy amber, creamy head. Light body. Aromatic and dry hops hop balanced very nicely against a fruity chewy body.

Gold, small beige head.Neutral nose. Light sweet malt start,light medium length hop end

Draft. Golden amber beer with a thin white head. Citrus aroma. Big citrus flavor with some malt backing. Medium bodied. Easy drinking and lingering bitterness.

Draft at the brewery
Light orange color, almost a yellow hue. Sweet, starchy grains in the flavor, simple really. Peppy texture, very starchy, bitter and sour... overall just not a good beer, especially contrasted with Spinnakers cask ales.

Clear copper appearance, decent head formation. Malty, mildly spicy aroma. Very mild on the palate, moderate body, mild malt, decent fair citrussy bitterness in the finish. Very mild pale ale.

20 years - the first brewpub in Canada! This is a nice late hopped pale ale, comes out of the tap with a golden body and a thin white head. Aroma is malty with some nice hops and citrus combination. Flavour is hoppy but a bit thin on malts compared to other pale ales’s but thats how I tend to like it. A beer I could easily enjoy a few pints of.

This is Spinnakers 20th Annie beer. on the pour: looks light for an Ale..pale light gold with a white head,fads fast with little lacing,but the nose on pour was great,flowers and hops. On taste Citrus,and malt on start,Then ginger and lemon grass,malts and hops in the finish,a real nice beer. good body,it sort of coats the tongue in a good way,and lingers on as lemon.
