Speak Softly

Speak Softly is an American pale ale from Ottawa’s Waller St. Brewing. The beer is a 5.5% job with a hefty 65 IBUs. Sold in 500mL bottles, the beer that emerges is rich gold under a creamy head.

This APA has a citrus aroma and a flavour comprised of grapefruit and nectarine, building to a robustly hoppy and citrus finish.

This is a well-constituted and balanced little beer. The high IBUs give Speak Softly a gritty character that I found agreeable. Good stuff. I’d like more, please.
