You loved the orange citrus hop flavour of Uncle Giggles Pale Ale, now taste the same orange citrus hop flavour of Great Uncle Giggles Pale Ale. Yeah, it’s the same beer but we’re making it different now. In the original recipe we used some hop pools in order to maintain that fresh hop taste throughout the beer’s shelf life. Recently we started using a piece of equipment called a hop egg. This allows us to introduce hops to our beer tanks without opening them up and introducing oxygen to the beer. This makes the hop flavours that we choose for this recipe (our only recipe with hop oil) stay fresher tasting longer without having to use hop extracts.

Flight pour at the Robie St taproom. Pours hazy blonde with white head. Bright citrus and grass on the nose. Flavour has lemon rind, fresh grass, and wheaty malts. Quite tame, but inoffensive.

473ml can. Pours a hazy pale gold with a small, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces nicely. Mild aroma of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, earthy yeast and weedy hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, tangerine, apricot, lemon, earthy yeast and weedy hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and crushable, but I thought Uncle Giggles was slightly better.
