Limited Release
Coming from Salt Spring Island’s Saltspring Island Ales (Gulf Island Brewery) comes the “Dandy Hobo” a light golden rye ale that was brewed with fennel, cumin and caraway. This limited release was only available for tastings and growler fills at the brewery. The beer poured a light golden colour with a white head. The aroma consisted of sweet fruits, spices, mild malts, fennel, caraway and some rye. The flavour was of huge fruits up front with caraway, fennel, very mild spice from cumin, malts such as rye and a very mild tart finish. The alcohol content came in at 5%. This was a very refreshing ale and just as tasty as it was experimental! I hope that this beer some day sees the light of day in a bomber release.
