Handwritten notes: Belgian style Pale ale my white hoser arse! This tastes like a straight up Canadian Pale Ale. Was this brewed by Fort Garry Brewing? It could have been. All of y'all Yanks who want to know what "craft brewed" Canadian beer tastes like, try this. I hadn't realized Canada was ceded to Belgium just yet. In any event, it has a caramelly smell and taste. Of hibiscus and orange peel, I taste none. Such is the palate of an unrefined Canuck like myself.
