Lake of Bays Crosswind Pale Ale

Matt's weekly choice: Crosswind Pale Ale

Look - 3.25     Smell - 3     Taste - 3.5    Feel - 3.75   Overall - 3.5

Look - Poured from a 473ml tall can into a pint glass. Light, golden amber colour, half a finger of white head which faded quickly. Very little visible carbonation.

Smell - Light citrus floral notes with some malty caramel. Not a very strong smelling beer.

Taste - Very crisp tasting with notes of citrus, medium hops, and pale malts. Finishes with a taste of floral malts and a lasting bitterness.

Feel - Very light and easy drinking. Mild carbonation with a slight spicy feel. Has a bit of lasting dryness in the after taste

Overall - When I opened this beer I was expecting all the strong tastes that come with a Pale Ale. It was very crisp and tasty with a smooth finish. Feels like it is a bit watered down but still a very enjoyable drink. In the end, it is an easy going drink for any night but if your looking for something packed with Pale Ale flavour I would choose another beer.

- Matt
