Description
Alexander Keith's beer has been raised in Nova Scotia since 1820. It's a province where the water informs every aspect of its character from dramatic scenery, to distinctive culture and of course, exceptional beer. The coast itself is where everything comes together: the land, the sea, and the people who have called it all home for generations. Our inspiration, since 1820, is derived from these remarkable qualities and the extraordinary people met along the way.

Tap at Hurley's @YUL. Listed as Pale Ale but must be this one. Golden colour, small white head. Light apple fruityness in the nose. Light-bodied. Pale malty, slightly fruity, low bitterness, fizzy. Close to lager, only ipa by its name.

The infamous Alexander Keiths. Had no idea aboot the history of this beer until I had the chance to try it last week at the July DC RB mini-tasting. Poured a clear, pale fizzy yellow beer color with a fizzy, white head. Smells like a lager. Tastes pretty much like a lager. Light corn, herbal hops. Sweet malt finish. No sense of it being an IPA at all.
