WHISTLING PADDLER ~ WHITEWATER BREWING

 

Whistling Paddler is marketed as an English bitter but I think it may be closer to English Pale Ale. Sampled from a growler, the beer poured a clearish copper amber colour with an off white head. The head reduced to a cap leaving some patchy lacing. The nose contained toasty, a nuttiness, caramel, stone fruits, and some earthy-grassy hops. Taste followed the nose with toasty-bready malts, caramel, mild fruits and a mild grassy hop – nicely balanced. The beer had average carbonation and a medium-light mouthfeel. A smooth and uncomplicated easily drinkable beer.
