Today's beer adventure: Bust-A-Nut Original Ale. 355ml Bottle. 5.0%(?) ABV. Served in branded Bust-A-Nut glass. Won online in a contest after trying it at Festiv-Ale. Hey, FREE BEER!!!.
The pour is a dark amber. Sightly hazy. 2 fingers of rocky head. Good lacing. Good carbonation. Nose is of floral hops, grapefruit, slight biscuit. sight spice.
Flavour is a hop forward ESB-style. Grapefruit, malt sweetness, again with the biscuit. Pleasingly bitter finish.
Rating is 7.25/10 dogs. This is a solid offering by a new brewery that is finding their feet in Regina. Hopefully this beer is well received when it comes onstream sometime in April (according to the brewers). Bust-A-Nut Original would serve as a good introduction to hoppy beers for the rookie.
Apparently there are plans in the works for other brews as well.
