Omen Brewing Ltd. Snowy Owl – American Pale Ale at 5.5% ABV (C$3.82 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 9-Dec-2020, reviewed 14-Dec-2020)
Appearance: clear deep gold with two fingers of rocky pale ivory head, excellent retention and heavy chunky lacing. (4/5) Aroma: stone fruit, doughy cereal grains, citrus, floral. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, sweetish medium duration finish. (3/5)
It’s hard to characterize this without sounding dismissive. By which I mean, it’s OK. It’s not great, but it’s definitely not bad. No off flavours, certainly, but it’s also slightly sweet for my preference, and the hop profile is pretty basic. (14/20)
