Blue Collar has a
portly nose, with notes that showcase caramel malts, breadiness, and
some sweetness. The flavour doesn't quite track exactly--there are hefty
caramel notes, but built with a crunchy hops backbone.
Far
more malty than a typical pale ale, and with more caramel sweetness
than I expected, Blue Collar still managed to be an enjoyable little
ale. It has decent strength and a very full body, making for a pretty
square ale. I'd have liked a bit sharper bitter kick, but otherwise,
this stuff was quite appealing. I'll be giving The Hamilton Brewery more
of my money in the years to come.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
