I think this is brewed by Russel's. Crisp hops and easy drinking. Pours golden with ok head. Crisp finish. Tap at Italian restaurant in Kelowna.

Hazy, dullish pale colour and a bit of head. Bright hop notes and the standard Russell kettle sour base, along with a bit of yeastiness that muddles the aroma a little bit. Those hops are really, bright though, mango, guava and passionfruit. On the palate, much the same. the kettle character is heavy, but the hops are big enough to mostly drown it out. And these are damn fine hops. It knocks me out that Southern Passion has some old school lineage because it tastes nothing like noble hops. Excellent hop and I'm enjoying this one.

473ml can. Pours a clear dark brown, almost black with red hue and a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate and faint cherry. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, cherry and a hint of smoke in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Ok, but cherry is too subtle.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy straw colour with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces nicely. Mild aroma of grainy pale malt, rice and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, rice and spicy hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Clean, refreshing and crushable. Surprisingly flavourful for such a light beer.

Dullish pale with some haze and a fairly big, if weak-looking, head. An aromatic mix of yoghurty kettle sour and lots of leafy hop. On the palate, medium sourness, cut just slightly by some residual malt sweetness. The dry hop still lingers with leafy aromatics, and stone fruits, along with pears. Mild bitterness in there as well.

I’ve been meaning to try this Coffee Gose from Russel Brewing for awhile and bring in the need of a caffeine pick me up I figured now was the time! Pale matte straw gold with thin bright white fizzy foam that vanished in a blink. The aroma is a tart, salty coffee. Medium bodied, this beer is very tart and while the coffee comes through clearly it comes across as sort of briney. A strange beer that almost, but not quite, worked.

Hazy dull beigey sort of colour. Thick head. Has a fairly sharp, yogurty kettle sour character that the I7 just sort of floats over. Low bitterness but some pithy grapefruit notes, melon, papaya. More balanced on the palate. Not as sour as expected either.

Russel 1921 Post-Prohibition Pilsner 5% 26 IBU Crystal clear gold with decent foam which leaves soapy lacing behind. Rich malty sweet aroma, full bodied and raspy carbonation. Sweet malty freshly threshed grain with crisp bitter herbal hops. A good example of the style.
