The Growlery Beer Company Peggy – American Pale Ale at 5% ABV (C$4.55 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 3-Mar-2021, reviewed 9-Mar-2021)
Appearance: clear pale amber with two fingers of loose pale amber head, good retention and spotty soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: citrus, caramel, floral, grass. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium bitter finish. (4/5)
Inoffensive, but a bit old-fashioned, with citrus barely leading the way over caramel and grass. I can’t find any brewer notes, but secondary sources say it’s hopped with Cascade, which seems right. Clean and straightforward. (14/20)
