Beer #48 - Stanley Park 1897 Amber


Stanley Park Brewery 1897 Belgian Amber
www.stanleyparkbrewery.ca

Stanley Park Brewery is located in Stanley Park in Vancouver, BC.  It is named afer a brewery that used to exist in Stanley Park which served its beers to the many visitors of the park.  They have decided to make their brewery 100% sustainable.  This Belgian style amber is unpasturized and made from a mixture of hops and malts.

It has a cloudy golden colour with a white head with tiny bubbles.

It smells quite yeasty with a nice malty component with a hoppy undertone.

The yeastiness and maltiness comes out at the start and slowly fades as the hops slowly materialise and take over the flavours to fade to a clean finish.

It is a nice and mellow beer with a fair bit of complexity yet still drinks crisp and clean.
