Day 16: Slipstream Cream Ale

Sometimes the path of least resistance is actually through the bottleneck...

The Story:
After pioneering maple cream beers in BC with the Draught Dodger Cream Ale (made with real Canadian maple syrup by the way), the Phillips crew dreamt up a brew that would retain a highly-sessionable, malt forward taste profile, but emphasize roasted characteristics .  In 2009 Slipstream cruised on to the scene--a precision crafted ale finely tuned for flavour featuring a roasted, nutty body. Enjoy the ride.

Tasting Notes:


Pours a dark copper colour with a soft white head.  The nose is slightly nutty.  Smooth mouth feel and a sweet brown sugar taste with hints of toasted hazelnuts, complimented by a dry finish. 
 

Availability:
Slipstream is available year-round in their own 341mL six pack, as well as a permanent member in the Showcase Mixed pack.

  2. I'm very glad that this has secured a spot in the showcase pack. So smooth. Sadly my liver refuses to accept this as a replacement for water. It must be punished.
