A bitter, fruit-focused aroma greets
the nose. Low Boy has a fresh and juicy flavour built atop a faintly
tart citrus tingle. Apricot and orange notes are the flavour drivers,
leading to a nicely hopped finish.
This beer
was, compared to many of Ontario’s sessionable pale ales, fairly
innovative and unique. The judicious use of apricot purée gave the body a
bit of thickness. Additionally, it might be the milkiest looking beer
I’ve ever downed. The only gripe I have with Low Boy is a slightly off
note in the finish—something a bit earthy and murky that, while maybe
great in another beer, fell a bit flat in this otherwise fruity and
fresh ale.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
