Fast becoming one of my favourite breweries, Muskoka has just introduced the latest in it's cycle of seasonal beers It joins Summer Weiss, Harvest Ale and the previously tasted Double Chocolate Cranberry Stout.

Tonight"s offering

Straw in colour with an off white head made up of tight bubbles. Citrus, spice, on the nose. First sip is very herbaceous, with coriander, gin notes, and floral hints from the heather. A nice backbone of hops rises up through the middle. Similar in flavour profile to a wheat or Weiss beer, however the bottle does not list which malted grains are used. 


Impressions: Fail, So-so, Pass, Exceptional





Cost: 5/6 PASS
Colour: 5/6 PASS
Beer Style: 5/6 PASS
Re-Order:  6/6 Exceptional  
Experience:   6/6  Exceptional


Final Thoughts:

Oddity is exactly the right word to describe this beer. It is a veritable collision of flavours that all seem to work together, and another good score for Muskoka Brewery.

Cheers
