Woodstock, Ontario is the birthplace of Portage India Pale Ale. It’s a 5.6% alcohol IPA from Upper Thames Brewing Co. Sold in 473mL cans, the beer is ruddy gold with a thick eggshell head.
Portage
has an aroma that paces between citrus and malt. The flavour is
principally malty, with a leafy, resinous hop finish and a citrus
undercurrent.
This beer was less bitter than
I’d have liked and considerably understrength for an IPA. It has a nice
flavour—I particularly like the hempen hops/malt/citrus combo. However, I
found the deviations from the style distracting.
Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
