Description
THE CABIN STORY
Since we were children, we’ve yearned for our own special place.

A cardboard box fort; a cubby under the stairs; a flashlight under the covers. As we grew up, we slept in tents under trees. We bought campers and took road trips. We rented cabins in faraway places and gathered with friends. We made memories.

The humble cabin represents the ultimate escape. A home away from home. A respite from the stresses of work and the regularity of everyday life. A place to be yourself.

Cabin Brewing Company embodies that feeling. It is a place to make new memories. It is your new special place.

Relax. Take a deep breath. Drink great beer.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy pale straw colour with a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Sweet fruity aroma of pale malt, grapefruit, mango and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of biscuity pale malt, mandarin orange, mango, papaya, blueberry and herbal hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Juicy, clean and refreshing. An excellent Pilsner.

473ml can. Pours a clear pale gold with a medium, frothy, long lasting, white head that leaves thick, sticky patches of soapy lace. Mild aroma of grainy wheat, orange peel and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy wheat, orange peel, mango and grassy hops in a dry, bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and crushable.

355 ml can. Pours almost black with moderate head that settles quickly. Aromas of charred peppers, black coffee, rum and roasted malts. Flavors of dark chocolate, hot peppers, slight rum, vanilla, and dry toasted malts. The best iteration so far.

Gold, bright, thin head. Some melon, orange, hop notes. Mellow bitterness, again that sort of cantaloupe hop note, a sweet orange accent.

Aroma: creamy notes from oak, roasted malt, some sweetness, maple.
Taste: along the same lines, on the thinner side, noticeable dark fruits.
Overall: enjoyable.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Dark brown with minimal off white head. Woody, nutty nose. Taste is woody, super feint hint of dark fruits, very mild marzipan quality, a bit thin.

Poured from 355mL can (pkg Dec 23, 2024 - I guess they're off-loading old stock to BC?). Medium-dark brown wtih beige head. Toffee and chocolate malt with a bit of bittering roast. It's like if Granville Island Winter Ale was stronger and had roasty bitterness in it. Okay.

335 ml can. Pours a dark brown with full tan head. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, and bready malts. Flavors of toffee, fruity almost dank hops, and bready malts. Nice enough, but not a Stout in any fashion. Really just a sweet strong American Ale IMHO.
