Lug Tread is our tribute to the classic Kölsch beers of Cologne, Germany. Lug Tread is top-fermented (like an ale) and then cold-aged (like a lager), giving it light ale notes complemented by a lager-like crispness. It is versatile and well suited to any season or occasion, with satisfying, chewy malts to warm in the colder months, and a refreshing, crisp finish to quench a summer’s thirst. The tracks left in the mud from a small tractor’s Lug Tread tell the tale of honest hard work and close family ties.

well its all natural. and, i guess, not a lager but a kolsch. to me it still just tastes like another average pale lager. not much smell. not a bad aftertaste at least, even after a whole 600ml bottle. certainly not worth the price. beaus does much better products than this one...

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks Dagan. Clear golden with a big fluffy white head. Aroma of yeast, flowers, fruits and light spiciness. A rather dry flavor with light sweetness, yeast, fruits and a finish with some bitterness. Light-medium-bodied. Drinkable.

Very light, bright yellow body with a decent sized and solid head. The aroma is well-crafted German hoppiness. The flavour is like drinking a pile of swamp water with a carbonated hoppy finish. There’s an awkward flavour to this that’s neither good nor bad, but certainly odd. You’ll either like it or hate it. Me? I didn’t like it.

Draught at Mike’s Place, Carleton University, Ottawa. Rich yellow color, clear appearance, very small off-white foamy head, high carbonation, slightly bitter, hoppy taste, abrupt finish. Liked it.

Originally rated May 2008. Nice... a fairly new brewery from my Franco-Ontarien region. Certified organic malts and local springwater. Comes in a off-white ceramic 750ml bottle. Pours a light yellow colour that is slightly hazy with a good frothy head that disappears slowly and dirty lace remains. The organic malts really shows in the aroma and the grainy taste. Crisp mouthfeel. Quite a different lager, but very nice and refreshing.

Poured a clear yellow colour with a nice, big, bright white head. Scents include corn, eggs, grass and yeast. First sip was watery with flavours of corn, white bread, potatoes and a slight almond finish. finish is also slightly hoppy with a little bitter flavour. Palate is corn.

crisp taste with some cereal or wheat and a bit of hops in the background. Earthy with a moderately lasting bitterness.

Bottle: Poured a deep clear golden color Kölsch with a big foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma of unrefined grain and weird dry ester is not overly pleasant. Taste is a mix between rich medium sweet grains with again some dry ester. Full body with good carbonation is pleasant. I have to admit that this is not a style that I am overly knowledgeable about or that I appreciated a whole lot but I thought this was acceptable.

Draft at the Cottage and a Kitchen, August 25, 2006, with GRM. Golden lager with a thin white head. Sweet fruity aroma with notes of watermelon and light sulfur. In mouth, a rather sweet unbalanced kolsch, with lots of phenolics, nail polish remover, and an oily mouthfeel. A rather cloying offering. I will have to give it another chance when the second batch is available as this is the first batch by these courageous entrepeneurs (just consider what happened to OVBC, Harts, Masters, Abe and Roscoes, Copperhead...in the difficult eastern ON market!...Ottawa is a hard nut to crack!).
