Style: Scotch Ale
Brouwerij de Glazen Toren, Erpe-Mere, Belgium
Canaster, a subtle Scotch beer. The name Canaster clearly refers to an ancient brewing tradition of Aalst. Centuries ago Canaster was brewed in the Carmelite convent in Aalst. The archeological site was recently uncovered and is the subject of an historical investigation. Canaster now relives as a Winter Scotch, a beer for the long, cold winter evenings. Here the same natural ingredients are used as in the two other products of the brewery, including the Hallertau hop from the Aalst area.
This beer owes its warm aroma and its full-bodied taste to the use of fine, dark malts (caramel).
The color is brown with reddish hints and medium brown/white head. The flavor is fruity with hints of raisin and bananas.
