English Bay Pale ale (5% ABV)
Granville Island Brewing, Vancouver, BC, Canada

The latest in a selection brought back for me fresh from BC. So far, English Bay Pale has been the best of an average bunch of BC beer.

Pours orange-amber. I was pretty aggressive with the pour and the head welled up, but very soon settled down to a thin ring around the top. Lots of carbonation.

Flat wheat-ish smell, also smells a bit sweet and perhaps a hint of cherry. Initial taste quickly falls from a peak of swelling fruity wheat into gradually bittering hop taste.

Aftertaste mellows into a light, rolling sweetness which counterpoints the bitterness nicely. That cherry hint reveals itself as a finale, reminding me of cherry brandy.
