Granville Island Brewery is a Molson property, and one that delivers a
real mixed bag of brews. A really great Winter Ale, a lousy Maple Cream Ale, and
just fair pale ale and lager. But I keep going back to the well, this
time with their India Session Ale. At 4.6%, this stuff comes in azure
473mL cans. The beer within is a rusty brown ale, topped with a fuzzy
cream head.
Nice balanced through the nose, with
citrus and evergreen hops, and a decent malt profile, this beer has a
comparable flavour--especially in the malty character, that adds a bit
of value.
For a low alcohol brew, this stuff is
full-bodied and agreeable. It's not remarkable, but it is genuinely
well made. The kind of suds I'll be certain to revisit on the reg.
Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
