Celebrating Sisters Rouge Pale Ale

 Celebrating Sisters Rouge Pale Ale is a red pale ale brewed in Toronto at Great Lakes Brewery as part of The Indigenous Brew Crew and Do Better. Be Better’s Celebrating Sisters initiative with $1 per 473mL can going to Indigenous organizations that support Indigenous women. The label is a gorgeous one, designed by Chief Lady Bird. The beer is a 5.1% ale. It’s copper-brown and pours with a modest off-white head.

CSRPA incorporates both wheat and oats. It has a rusty, bready, malt-driven aroma. The flavour, too, is pleasantly metallic. It’s a toasty, malty little number, with some caramel sweet and light hempen bitterness.

I had eight of these beauties, and frankly, it wasn’t enough. I love red ale hybrids, and this one was lovely. A bit more strength might have been nice, though.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
