WHAT: Railway City Iron Spike Blond Ale
Rating: NNN
WHERE: St. Thomas
WHY: Here’s a happy double act of big flavour and low alcohol. The bouquet throws up lots of fruit and caramel, and this is confirmed in the mouth. But because it’s all riding along on 4.3 per cent alcohol and judicious hopping, the final result is refreshment as opposed to heaviness. A nice surprise. A very good all-rounder with a cheese plate.
PRICE: 500 ml/$3
AVAILABILITY: At selected liquor stores (product #132779)
