Barrel fermented pilsner
Cathedral Tree is a beer that pays reverence to the timeless lager style – Pilsners. Fermented entirely in 500 Liter oak puncheons, to incorporate Old World methodology and provide a mellow tannic structure that lends a full mouthfeel and support for classic German noble and modern hops. Finishes crisp, clean, and refreshing as any Pilsner should. Look for Cathedral Tree in 16-ounce cans. And just like the actual Cathedral Tree, this one is staying firmly planted at the coast.

Quite pale, slight haze, thin head. Thin body, med bitterness, a slight toasty wood note. Simple and a bit light.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours clear, bright gold with a large, but transient white head. Aroma of bread/yeast and grass/spice. And maybe wood. Med plus body. Flavor is yeasty with grass/spice and some sort of herb/green thing. Oak astringency with wood notes. Dry in a lightly yeasty bready sort of way. Bitter enough to suggest burns. Really, really good.

Pours golden with a ever so slight haze under a tall white head. Super “fresh” aroma with lightly sweet berries, lemon, light cereal grain. Flavor is similar with just a little bit of tang to it, floral notes and a little more citrus. Finish is slightly dry and snappy. This is a fantastic beer.

On tap at Fort George - Lovell Taproom, pours a clear blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out herbaceous, grassy hops, some oak, and straw. Flavour is grassy and herbal, with plenty of dry oak, which is unusual for a pils — grassy, herbaceous, and straw-like. A little too herbaceous for my tastes but still solid.

Can. Pours a clear straw yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is grassy with earthy hay and a light dankness underlying.

16 ounce can. Pours a totally clear yellow color with a large white head that dies down. A nice sweet pils nose, light oak. Soft, perfume, light lemons, big dusty pils malts. Clean as hell, flavorful. Light wood in the tail. Very good. MJ or 3/4 would have loved this one.

16 oz from a four pack. Aromas of pine, latex, freshly chopped wood, herbal tea. Pours crystal clear golden with a one finger bone-white head with great retention. Taste has a moderate herbal hop bitterness, lightly sweet, finishing pretty dry. The barrel character is a bit more subtle than I was expecting, but it comes through lightly in that fresh chopped wood character. Carbonation is a bit soft. A superb modern pils using old fashioned methods. I love it.

Fort George Cathedral Tree Barrel Fermented Pilsner 4.8% Straw gold with a fizzy head and a nice spicy herbal hop bouquet. My favorite thing about this beer is the lovely soft body. Easy drinking with herbal spicy hops and pale Pilsner malts.
