Description
Locating our brewery in the decidedly un-hip Burnside Industrial Park in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia was a perfect example of how we like to do things at Burnside Brewing. The park was emblematic of our no-nonsense ethos. We are relentless in our commitment to quality and consistency and brewing approachable beer – beer that our customers want to drink.

Golden. The aroma has more toffee than anything else. There is some sweet malts, but without a lot of nuance. On the palate, less bitterness than the Coastal Lager, which is odd. No hop aroma as well. Disappointing in that sense - it lacks serious pilsner character.

Can, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out cereal notes, biscuity malt and almost no hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with notes of cereal and biscuity malt. No hops at all. Not an authentic pils, but it's okay.

Has a nice amber colour, with a thin head. The aroma has a touch of biscuity malt in there. Similar palate, biscuity with a touch of toffeeish character. Good malt character. The bitterness is subtle, lending nice balance. Good.

Can, pours a hazy golden amber with a small white head. Aroma is subtle, with toasted bread and sweet cereal malt. Flavour brings out cereal malt, bready malt and a little astringency on the finish. Dry, lean body. Not a whole lot going on, but it's decent.

Can: Poured a clear copper color ale with a nice foamy head with OK retention. Aroma of grainy unrefined notes are more or less pleasant. Taste is also a mix of unrefined grainy notes which dominate any other flavours. Body is about average with good carbonation. Something went wrong with the malt profile of this beer.
