Howe Sound Bailout Bitter

Brewed by Howe Sound Inn and Brewing Co.
Style: Bitter
Squamish, Canada

1L brown swingtop. Golden colour with a fine haze. Medium sized soapy head with some clinging lacing. Aroma has a whiff of light apple, lemon, some straw notes. Flavour has caramel accents, grains, some grassy hops. Citrusy aftertaste with mild leafy hops, light bitterness. Light body, mild carbonation. Likable, sessionalble, straightforward.

Big 1L swingtop shared with Parksy. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with an average white head. Grainy aroma with soft grassy notes and fruity perfume, reminding me a little of orange blossom. This delicate nuance was lost after the beer rested however. Flavour was of pale malts with a kiss of fruity hops and low bitterness. More like a golden ale IMHO.

1L Bottle. pours a dark yellow with a thick white head. Aroma of gains and malt with grassy notes. tastes of malts with a nice firm bitterness. probably one of the best english bitters I’ve ever had...

1L bottle after enjoying the Stamps Labour Day blowout victory over Edmonton. Thick foam on hazy dark amber. Very light fruit aroma; apricot? Good bitterness and a strong apricot character. Palate leaves me looking for more but I like the lingering bitter ghost.

Tried this one over a year back from a bottle bought from a BC liquor store. Had a nice sweet taste, some unique elements in the flavour, was okay, taste was a little artificial to be a bitter though. I think the name is the main driver behind buying a bottle!

[2333-20090726] 1L bottle. Grainy mild hops aroma with mild wet grass hints. Clear, light orange brown body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Grainy bitter toasted leaves flavour with a fruity finish. Medium body is bitter. Nice bitterness, drinkable, great start to the evening but otherwise nothing special.

pours a hazy yellow-orange with a large white foamy head, some sediment, and great lacing. smell is of grain, some citrus, a touch earthiness, and dry grass. taste is dry, a touch of grain, bitter, a little caramel, and some citrus, ends dry and somewhat bitter. overall the beer gets better as you drink it, very nice.

Bottle my Dad brought back from V.I. Clear golden yellow pour with a frothy, thick white foam with very good retention. Smell is sweet malts, a little grainy. Taste is mild hops, malts, and a herby kind of sweetness with that crisp, bitter finish. Not my favourite style of beer, but certainly enjoyable.
