Granville Island Emily

Formerly brewed at Granville Island (Taproom)
Style: Altbier
Vancouver, Canada

Bought a bottle of this back before I was seriously reviewing beers, it was a very limited release to help the local art school on the same island (Granville Island) that the brewery sits on (my old alma mater in fact!). Unfortunately the beer isn’t anything special, a dark-ish brew with a few unique hints of flavour but not unique enough to be memorable, or to buy a few extra bottles of it.

Can’t believe that only one other person has rated this beer! Like many of the Granville Island special beers, the Emily is better than most from this brewery but none are outstanding. This one has a decent alt flavor. I sampled it at the Autumn Brewmaster’s festival.

Light. Lack of flavour. An insult to both Dusseldorf and the Emily Carr School of Art for which this brew is commemorated.
