Island Imbibing with a Pacific Pint

Islander Lager

Vancouver Island Brewing Co.

5% Alcohol

You don’t want to get slashed by this sucker.

Vancouver Island, home of the largest totem pole in the world (no surprise there) and home to the largest hockey stick in the world (??). * and birthplace and current home of Pamela Anderson too. ** The island is frequented by seniors and orcas alike although they typically don’t hang in the same circles, or pods as the case may be. Since the Muskokas are buried under umpteen feet of snow at present we decided to visit the mildest climes in Canada for some island time.

How about a Vancouver Island Brewing’s brewski from the pacified coast. And like the old duck said, an Islander Lager fits the bill. Time to see if it hits the spot too. A golden bright pour with head of foam surfacing sighting. A bit bubbly, with a malt fresh aroma. A middlin’ malt flavour with a touch of fizz, no lager sweet to start, but a hint of fruit in there.  Fizz and fruit fade and the malt remains for some nice basic easy drinking down to earth silky smooth and satisfying suds of the lager persuasion.***

*Editor’s Comment: The worlds largest hockey stick is located in the town of Duncan on Vancouver Island. The world’s largest totem pole is located on the island in Victoria, which is the provincial capital of British Columbia.

**Editor’s Comments: Pamela Denise Anderson was born in Ladysmith, BC and moved back to her childhood home a few years ago. She rose to fame as a model, having been discovered at a BC Lions football game on the jumbotron with a Labatt’s T Shirt on. Labatt’s hired her as a spokesmodel, and her career took off from there.

***Editor’s Comment: Was there a Black Friday sale on adjectives or have you finally opened that Thesaurus I gave you?
