Creemore Springs Kellerbier Kellerbier at 5% ABV | 30 IBU (C$3.57 at NLC Stavanger, 473 ml, no bottle date or best before, acquired 6-Oct-2016, reviewed 6-Oct-2016)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale amber, one fat finger of ivory head, good retention and moderate lacing. (3/5) Aroma: grainy malt, bready yeast, honey, grassy, light citrus. (5/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium duration bitter finish. (3/5)
Well, the up side to this one was its surprising bitterness, which though not high by comparison to many modern IPAs, might well be the highest I’ve seen for any Molson product. The down side was… well… everything else. Grainy malt and bready yeast dominant the aromas, with weedy, grassy hops lurking in the background. Tastes slightly better than it smells, though, and it’s not terrible overall. Can’t see bothering with another any time soon, though
– or ever again. (11/20)
