From Hearthstone Brewery in North Vancouver comes their "Graham Cracker Ale". This is a new version of the beer that has launched in December 2016. The beer pours a chestnut brown with an off white head. The aroma consists of graham crackers, honey, vanilla with an overall sweetness and some fruit. The flavour is of caramel, graham crackers, vanilla, fruit and some mild bitterness and earthiness in the finish. The alcohol content comes in at 6% with an IBU of 30. This beer has tons of flavour and is backed with a good body. With the reduction of alcohol from the original 8% the malts have become much more forward in the flavour.
Commercial Description: In 1829, Presbyterian minister Sylvester Graham invented the graham cracker in an attempt at staving off an epidemic that was sweeping the nation - masturbation. As a tribute to Reverend Graham, we decided to concoct a graham cracker brew with 50kg of graham crackers in each batch, resulting in notes of honey, vanilla and all around graham cracker goodness. So instead of knocking one out this evening, how about knocking one back with Hearthstone! Cheers!
Here is a link to my old review of the original version.
