Craig Street A Fools Ale

Brewed by Craig Street Brewing
Style: Altbier
Duncan, Canada

(Draught) Sampled at the brewpub. Asked the waitress what the seasonal is, she responded - "A Fool’s Ale. Its a wheat beer." My wife asked if its a hefeweizen. She commented she didn’t know what that is but A Fool’s Ale is a light, clear, wheat beer. Upon receiving it, one can immediately tell that its not a wheat beer. Pours a tan velvet head with a deep mahogany body. Nose of heavy toasted aromas and butterscotch ripple. Full roasted malt flavour, very buttery with a somewhat smooth malted finish. A good showing. Not a Summer beer. Not a wheat beer.
