To my sniffer, honey
sweetness is the big contributor to the aroma of this little effort from
Tecumseh, Ontario. Interesting, the spicy pepper is used sparingly, and
only becomes evident on the finish after a couple of sips. Otherwise,
the flavour is mild and sweet, with mellifluous notes on top of an
otherwise mild and balanced blonde ale.
I’m
conflicted when it comes to reviewing this ale—typically with spicy
beers I fear over-emphasis of heat elements, but with this one, I’d have
liked just a whisper more potency. As well, I always like to know where
a beer’s honey (and peppers) are sourced. That info would have been
nice.
Rating: 7.0 out of 10.
