It’s been a minute since I last tasted something new from Hamilton’s Clifford Brewing Co., so Chain Link Lager practically flew into my cart at the LCBO. The offering is a 5% Vienna lager sold in textured 473mL cans. The beer inside is a fiery copper colour with a pretty healthy layer of off-white head.
Chain Link has a complicated nose, with notes of roasted malt, sweet berries, caramel, bread, and a metallic tinkle. The flavour is sweet, malty, and sticky, with a little bit of fruitiness manifested as apples and berries.
For an Ontario lager, Clifford’s Chain Link is a complex and captivating little offering. The sweetness is muted, the flavour is engaging, and the texture is on point.
Rating: 9.0 out of 10.
