Farm Table: CDN Pale Ale

History & Style

CDN Pale Ale is a north-of-the-border rendition of the hop-forward, flavourful American Pale Ale (APA) beer style. Popularized in the 1980s, APAs are typically brighter and slightly more bitter than its counterpart from across the pond, the British Pale Ale. Beau’s Farm Table Series beers are brewed true to style, and easy to enjoy. Their recipes showcase our favourite classic or emerging beer styles from around the world.

The label art for CDN Pale Ale is as thoroughly Canadian as the beer itself.  Displaying a Canadian-themed pinball machine housing an iconic Canadian aircraft, it pays tribute to our nation’s history of aeronautical innovation. Fun fact: This is the third Beau’s beer to feature an iconic aircraft on its label. The first? Screamin’ Beaver in 2010.

Tasting Notes

CDN Pale Ale pours hazy orange with a thick white foam. The aroma offers a hoppy mix of melon and citrus notes. This medium-bodied beer features a silky mouthfeel, moderate bitterness and big fruit flavours. The finish is bright and hoppy.
