Scotch Irish Dogsbody

Formerly brewed at Heritage Brewing Limited
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Carleton Place, Canada

tastes like dog! just kidding. on tap at volo quite some time ago. i recall it looking good, and having and aroma of grains, and malt. flavour was bitter, definite hoppiness to it. nice biscuity malt in the background.

on tap at the Judge: Tapped a lightly hazed yellow colored ale in the pint glass....smallish white cap reduced to a surface lace quickly. Light understated aromas of grain and citrus, toffee, some light mustiness Light body, minimal malt spine, fluid mouth feel and a thin biscuity charater. Up front you get a sweet toffee-biscuit decenment then the body goes weak and washes away to a clean finish where the hops show up to add light bittering. A very thirst busting light summer ale, a tad thin in body but the biscuity malts carry the palate over that detraction.....a well made light summer ale that you can down by the pint.

Good beer, a little weird the names from this brewery, but very bitter, somewhat yellow good aroma, and good foam too. A little heavy to drink after a while, but good aftertaste too.

tap @ volo. Lightish gold, thin head. Nose is dusty malt, butterscotch. Flavor is english hops, lightly toasted maltg, maybe some honey.

Mild citrus and leafy hops with underlying caramel malts. Clear, deep golden coloured body with low, white, fully-diminishing head. Grainy malts and herbal, grassy, earthy hops with fair finishing bitterness. Somewhat simple - there’s not much to grab you. Medium-light body with moderately prickly carbonation. Somewhat watery in texture. Draft with muzzlehatch, Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere at the Winking Judge in Hamilton.

Couleur blonde, absence de mousse et de dégagement gazeux lors du service à partir du fût. D’influences anglaises, timide grain et houblon apportant un aspect cireux aux arômes également composé d’une trace notable de DMS. Bonne dose de houblon en bouche mais simplement aucune autre matière pour venir le balancer, apparaissant ainsi vers un jus de houblon plus que d’une bière. Échantillon d’une fraîcheur questionnable, Winking Judge, Hamilton, Ontario.

Oh boy! I do like the scotch irish line, but after having this one on tap at cafe volo, I have to wonder. It’s just non consequential. Great brown colour and a finished frothy head leaves no room for taste. Malt? It’s smooth and utterly Disappointing.

Clear golden, light gentle white head. Pleasant, but faint english grainy nose. Light bodied, heavy carbonation, straightforward. Heavily hopped blonde ale, pretty much what you’d expect, floral and direct.
