Hop City Brewing Co.
Brampton, Ontario
5%A/V
First Impression
Fun looking can featuring a cartoon squirrel glaring at a cartoon hop bud. Attractive, coppery beverage with a bubbly off-white head, nice fragrance of gentle hop aromas.
First Sip
Smoothly hoppy, really delicious with a malty balance. Very nice right off the bat.
Halfway
Shaping up well! A really nicely drinkable beer from the wild hinterland of Brampton. The name is still confusing...
Bottoms Up
Good beer from Brampton!?! Who knew? Pam did apparently... So thanks Pam! A really, really nice lager. Rich with satisfying flavors, Barking Squirrel is possibly the best crafted lager I've had so far! Perhaps the name is derived from the predominant wildlife species of the area in which it is brewed, the Eastern Grey Squirrel. Who cares really? They could have called it "Where's the Airport Lager" it would still be a terrific drinkable...
86/100
