Perth County Conspiracy North American Pale Ale

Brewed in Stratford, Ontario by Herald Haus Brewing Co., Perth County Conspiracy North American Pale Ale is a 5% brew sold in 473mL cans. According to the copy on the can, the Perth County Conspiracy was a folk-rock act formed in Stratford in 1969.

The ale proved to be clear and gold, with a durable white foam on top. It had a grainy, slightly floral aroma balanced with notes of brown sugar. The flavour is pretty mild, with malty caramel set off against citrus and floral notes.

Not a bad take on the American Pale Ale, Perth County Conspiracy delivered a beer that was pretty refreshing with a decent flavour. I kinda liked the quirky black and white can, also. I’d have liked a deeper flavour, though. And I know they were going for limited bitterness, but I missed the hoppy crackle that makes an APA sing.

Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
