Hockley Canadian Amber

Brewed by: Hockley Valley Brewing Company
Brewed at: Orangeville, Ontario, Canada
Type: Amber beer
A/V 4.2%

First Impression
Another beer from the three fellas in the commercial unit in the heart of that cosmopolitan sleeper of a town, Orangeville. I know the place all too well... Pinch nose and tilt head...

First Sip
All bias aside, someone got the malts right in this one. Poured into a bespoke brewers glass chilled to the second most recent ice age, my lip nearly stuck to the glass.

Halfway
A little haziness peeking out from the clarifying glass. A typical small batch craft quality speaks to the origins of this shed brewed drink.

Bottoms Up
For a bit of a lower alcohol beer you'd be hard pressed to find a more flavorful sample at 4.2% spirit. Good job boys. Enjoy the blues and jazz.

76/100
