Beau's All Natural Brewing Company of Vankleek, Ontario produces a beautiful little brew called Lug Tread. According to the Beau's website, Lug Tread is a lagered ale because it is top fermented and then cold-aged. Pretty cool.
Lug Tread contains 5.2% alcohol, comes in snazzy 600mL bottles and is sold in 4 packs. The packaging is truly exceptional. It looks stylish and is environmentally sound. Each bottle is individually stamped with a packaged on date and a batch number.
L.T. looks like a pale lager, but about a half a shade darker. It has a white head and average lace. The scent is sweet and malty, with a toasty sort of vibe. The taste is much bigger than a conventional pale lager, but lighter than an average ale. It's sweet with a hint of smoke. Something about this brew reminds me of toasted marshmallows. Also, there is a touch of fruit, possibly plum. The aftertaste remains sweet, but balanced against a welcome shot of bitterness.
This is a great beer, in what, as far as I can tell, is a unique style. The flavour is smooth but offers a lot to contemplate. Definitely get it.
Rating: 9.0 out of 10.
