Description
The Exchange is a new premium brewery and tasting room located in Niagara-on-the-Lake’s Old Town heritage district. Although the town is known as the heart of Ontario’s wine country, it is also the scene of a burgeoning craft-brewing industry. With brewing and agricultural roots that stretch back to the late 1700s, Niagara-on-the-Lake is the perfect home for The Exchange’s approach to brewing, which blends traditional and modern techniques and equipment.

We focus on making exceptional craft beers using only the highest quality ingredients, including local Niagara fruits. Our selection includes a range of American styles along with sour and funky Belgian-style beers and ales.

Thanks to a bandmate and his girlfriend for this one for my birthday. Pours a hazy golden-orange colour with a big frothy warm-beige head, long lasting giving some thick foamy lace. Earthy notes in the nose with some fruity malts. Apples, mild citrus. The taste is also earthy, reminding me of Brett. Hints of oranges and apples again, with some light spiciness. Written 2 months in red wine barrels, but hard to feel this, as not grape-ish, nor sweet. Maybe a dry red wine, as mild dryness in the finish (but really seems to come from the hops). Which are well-chosen BTW.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a dark plum-brown color with a large foamy tan head that left excellent lacing. The aroma was toasty malts, caramel and a light vegetal note. The flavor was sweetish with caramel, toasty malts, a light vegetal presence and mild astringency. Medium length finish. Medium body.
