When it comes to Niagara Falls, main street has all kinds of cheesy shops and touristy things to do, but when all is said and done the main attraction is still the main attraction, The Falls. Always impressive. It also happens to be a point of National pride that the Canadian Falls (Horseshoe Falls) is a much more impressive view than the American Falls, eh. I guess in this case pride comes with The Falls, not before.*
The View with my Brew.
Out for dinner and we got us a room with a view, and as we all know that a view with a brew can be a winning combination too. A local draft amber from The Exchange was my selection, and what a choice choice it turned out to be. Award winning Number 2 Amber,** and anyone who has read more than one of my reviews will know by now, I love me an amber. And I remember hearing somewhere when you’re number 2 you try harder.***
A clear amber pour. It did have some head to it but a toast before I clicked a pic took care of the nice draught draw atop. Malt and a touch of sweet in the aroma. Everything is coming up amber. A nice easy drinking malt taste with mild sweet and slight bitter on the finish. A balancing act in good taste. Smooth and sessionable. Reminiscent of a Cali Common but there’s nothing common about this great amber.
The number 1 attraction was The Falls, number 2 was The Exchange’s amber. Great beer.
