Outstanding Pub Ale

 Outstanding Pub Ale comes from the baseball-mad team at Toronto’s Left Field Brewery. I’d probably class it as a British-style pale ale or a blonde ale. It’s a clear golden ale, at 4.1%, that comes in 355mL cans emblazoned with the 17 names of the 2021 indictees into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. According to the can, 25¢ goes to support the work of the Hall. Cheers!

The beer has a toasty, malt-focused aroma with a little bit of sticky toffee. The flavour is  impressively robust for a low-alcohol ale, with ample malt, caramel, and toast notes. There is also an agreeable copper streak running through this one. As for bitterness, there is just a tickle, localized in the back end in a floral/nutty configuration.

This was a really good little beer: enjoyable, huge flavour for the strength, and in service of a good cause. This beer went down beautifully on a crisp November eve.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
