Bajus Brown Ale

 Brown ale! Criminally under-represented in Ontario’s brewing scene. I was fired up when I saw that Stone City Ales offered a brown—the 5.5% Bajus Brown Ale. It comes in stark 500mL bottles, from which emerges a handsome amber liquid. Through its durable, creamy head comes a malty aroma highlighted with bready and caramel-tinged notes. The flavour is cozy and malt-driven. It’s toasty and mellow at the outset, with brown sugar and caramel, and it gives way to a mild metallic bitterness.



Mild-mannered, but with some depth, Bajus is a solid little brown ale. It has excellent strength, too. I’d have liked a bit more of an explosive hop finish, but that’s about it for critiques.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
