Arbru Beer Tasting Notes
Session Lager: Easy drinking. Light and slightly sweet with flavours of pale malt. Minimal hop bitterness, with the faintest hint of floral grassy notes.
New England IPA: Juicy, hazy appearance with aromas of tropical fruits, most prominent, grapefruit. Delicious and very approachable for an IPA! Staff favourite.
Summer Blonde: Approachable, clean and dry light malt aromas with notes of biscuit, cracker, or lightly toasted bread with a hint of caramel, low bitterness.
Coffee Truck Stout: Black with a creamy tan head; aromas of cold brew coffee, vanilla, and roasted malt. Smooth and balanced, this stout pours like a latte - with subtle sweetness, gentle bitterness, and a velvety finish that's refreshingly easy to drink.
Amber Ale: Balanced blend of malt sweetness and gentle hop bitterness with aromas of caramel and toffee
Cran Bru Ale: Blush pink with soft white head, aromas of ripe strawberry, sourdough bread, and pink peppercorns; flavours of tart cranberry flesh, raw honey and spice.
Mexican Cerveza: Feel like you're in Mexico. Clean, refreshing, light and crisp, with subtle notes of malted grain, a hint of floral hops, and a touch of citrus.
Raspberry Wheat: Refreshing, complex flavours with a distinct yeast character. Prominent aromas of raspberry, clove, and hints of bubblegum & vanilla from the Belgian yeast. Overall clean with refreshing character.
West Coast IPA: Well balanced malt with notes of caramel, toffee and biscuit. Approachable hop aromas with notes of pine, resin, and grapefruit.
NA Sobru: Light malt aromas with notes of cereal grains and biscuit, with a clean and approachable malt profile. Tastes almost like real beer.
