Why Siding 14? It's a nod to our rich Alberta and western Canadian railway heritage. Before the town of Ponoka was named, it was Siding 14 of the Calgary-Edmonton Railway Company. The siding was a supply point for steam locomotives making the run between the two major cities. The railway not only provided transportation between small towns and major centers, it was historically the heart of communication and social interaction in communities across the province.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy orange-gold, with a small, foamy, short lived, off-white head that laces. Mild, sweet aroma of bready wheat malt, vanilla, faint orange and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy wheat malt, vanilla, lactose, blood orange, oats and floral hops in a sweet, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with a slightly creamy texture and average carbonation. Not bad, but too sweet for me. I couldn't do more than one.
