The Canada 150 was so good we had to continue brewing it to keep people happy! We kept the same great taste yet changed the name to the Rusty Husky, a tribute to the dog sled races that were part of Bancroft’s Heritage in the past.

Made with Canadian Barley, as well as English and West Coast Hops gives it a great flavour, sweet with a medium body, and a dry finish. Perfect for drinking any time of the year.

This brown ale poured a beautiful deep amber colour with a light tan, creamy head. Scents include sweet malt/caramel, toast and roasted grain. First swig was smooth and creamy with flavours of caramel and toast. Medium carbonation and decent lacing. Finish was malty with a light hop bitterness lingering. Delicious!

Deep amber, thick tan head, looks like a beer's beer. Nose is fairly straight malt with roasted nose. Taste is, well, disappointing. Mild caramel malt, balance with overall bitterness. Feels a little thin. Lingering bitterness. So... not so much.

Thanks to AleRider78 for bringing this back from the brewery - for my birthday. 32 oz bottle like in the picture I took. Pours a clean amber colour with caramel highlights. Frothy beige head, good carbonation and light foamy lace. Some of the hops that I am not fond of are present here (leafy, artificial) over the sweet caramel malts and hints of roasted malts. Thin mouthfeel with the hops which are a tad better in the taste and the balance of caramel and burnt malts. Even hints of maple syrup, but all mild, not syrupy. Not my type of brown ale, as the hops are not to my likings, but a decent first from this brewery.

A dark reddish copper brown ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, OK. In mouth, sweet caramel malt with light butterscotch, treacle, some fruity esters, pleasant. On tap at brewery.
