When I saw the name Chicken Man I immediately thought of Colonel Sanders*. However, the legend of the Chicken Man according to Furnace Brewery is of a Georgetown Ontario resident who used to ride around on his bike (looks like an Amsterdam 3 Speed to me) with his chicken on board. I wonder if the chicken man’s chicken would get a little nervous riding past 249 Guelph Street.**
A golden yellow pour, chicken beak coloured, a bit hazy. Not much head and minimal aroma, very light with some fruit noticeable. First swig was fizzy with a bit of bitter, refreshing. There is some fruit in there too. The fizz lingers. Good light fruit flavour, as I work down my glass, as I am prone to do. The bitter is almost gone. But wait, a little more bitter returning toward the tail end of the chicken, chicken butt bitters.
Reminiscent of a cross between a West Coast Style IPA and a session IPA. A nice refreshing pale ale.
