Grizzly Paw Yule Tide Citrus Ale

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 4 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 4

This is an interesting beer for a Christmas beer. I'm used to the European strong dark ales which are spiced, and not with citrus. Golden orange in colour, solid, with a thin white head. Grainy malt, and floral hops dominate. The flavour is weak on the malt, and heavy on the citrus - so not enjoyable at all.

I tried this ale around new years time in canmore at the brew pub. I was a little skeptical while ordering it but i figured i may as well give it a try. The aroma was interesting; citrus, nutmeg, and perhaps other spices. The taste was similar to the smell, no surprises. It was okay, nothing special but okay.

Mostly consumed in the brewpub. Got a glass full of orangy amber beer with a skiff of white head that refused to stick to the glass. Aroma was interesting to say the least. Odd, strange malts or something....cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, old oranges, wet cigarettes and poutine - mainly cause I was hunched over a giant pile of it after an intense caving trip, covered in mud at the bar....Taste was not great but not strong enough to give me a headache. Malts, citrus, ginger, yeast. , wood and more wet cigarettes. Mouthfeel was ick. A strong unpleasant remnant of the pint remained onthe roof of my mouth. Had a somewhat dry finish. There was so much more about this beer, but I couldn't figure it out, plus, it was vile enough where I wasn't going to order another. This stuff is just bizarre. If you are in Canmore during this winter, give this a go as I have no idea what was actually in that glass. How does one rate something that doesn't seem to conform to anything?
