Vancouver Island Pipers Pale

Brewed by Vancouver Island Brewery
Style: English Pale Ale
Victoria, Canada

Bottled. Clear pale amber. Light aroma of paper and grass. Sweetish and lightly appley with clean mouthfeel. Medium bitterness. Subtle but without finesse.

Dark copper colour. Mild, lightly toasty aroma. Toasty palate with some woody notes. Not much bitterness.

Draught at Vancouver airport lounge
Amber color. It has a nice hoppy aroma, but the flavor is more common. Still, one of the few interesting beers at airport lounges.

Pale amber colour with a thin white head. Aroma is predominantly malty, slightly soapy smelling with a hint of spicy hoppiness. Flavour is also mostly malt with some faint orange citrus. Very low bitterness. Pretty standard but not bad.

Mildly fruity, sweet aroma with some touches of herbal hops apparent. Clear deep golden body is topped by a generous white head that recedes slowly to a lasting fine bubbled cover with excellent lacing. Mild caramel malt light fruitiness with herbal hops apparent and fair, balancing bitterness. Medium light body is dry and well attenuated with crisp carbonation that stimulates the tongue and cheeks. Although flavour and aroma are both quite innocuous this is a well crafted, if simple beer. Enjoyed on tap in the Maple Leaf Lounge at Vancouver Airport.

Can. Golden amber body with a small white head. Lighty buttery/caramel aroma. Rough astringent harshness over dilute malt. Average to thin palate.

Golden amber, creamy head. Slight malt flavor. Nothing exiting - pretty standard pale ale.

(Draught) On tap at the Officers Club at the Royal Victoria Naval Base in Victoria, British Columbia. Fairly thin white head dissipates quickly and gives a good glimpse into the deep copper body. Nose of mild hops with crystal malt. Decent enough English Pale but not what I am seeking in the Northwest.
