Broadhead Brewing Company
Microbrewery
in Ottawa,

Canada 🇨🇦
Associated Venue: Broadhead Brewery
Established in 2011
With a fraction of the capital advised to take on a project of this magnitude, the founders banked on their engineering prowess to retrofit and repurpose equipment in combination with a whole lot of sweat equity and late nights. In the fall of 2011, Broadhead Brewery kicked its doors open to the public in Ottawa, Ontario.
Over the past decade, we’ve been fortunate enough to be able to live our dream and share that dream with our incredible team and amazing customers. While much has changed since the garage days, our strong work ethic holds true, we remain focused on crafting high quality beer that’s innovative yet approachable, while leveraging the backgrounds of our founders to conduct regular feats of engineering.

This saison poured a hazy, lighter yellow colour with a big, bold fizzy white head. Minimal lacing. Sharp to the nose, scents include guava, strawberry jam and light malt. First swig was slightly over carbonated, with flavours of strawberries, malt and hops. Almost tastes of flavoured carbonated water. Finish is lightly sweet with strawberry and malt flavours lingering.

Can that pours a clean, golden colour with a big foamy head, good retention and some thick soapy lacing. Aromas are a blend of wheat-banana and some fresh herbal-grassiness. The taste is milder, balanced with the Belgian yeast and some decent grassy-hop notes. Some nice dryness lingers. Some beautiful pear fruitiness all through this. Everything works well.

Can that pours a clean, amber colour with hardly any carbonation. The head is still big, frothy-creamy, off-white head, good stay and some nice thick foamy lacing. Enough hops to give herbal notes, cutting the sweetness in the nose. The vanilla hints are very mild, blending with the caramel malts and grassiness that add a little dryness in the finish. Was expecting a lot of sweetness, but no - the hops are winning here.
