Introduction:
The Duke English Pale Ale is a tribute to Prince Arthur, the Duke of Connaught, who left his mark on Medicine Hat during his visit in 1912. This brew is a classic take on an English-style pale ale, offering a balanced and flavorful experience with a subtle fruitiness and a smooth, slightly dry finish.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Light fruity aromas with hints of caramel malt.
- Palate: A well-rounded malt backbone with notes of biscuit, toffee, and mild hop bitterness.
- Finish: Medium-light body with a clean, slightly dry finish.
Pairings:
This English Pale Ale pairs well with roasted poultry, grilled sausages, and hearty pub fare like fish and chips. Its malty profile also complements sharp cheeses, caramelized onions, and savory pies.
