COM1 – “Saturday. Let’s meet for lunch at “Pepperwood”* in Burlington.”
COM 2- “Peckerwood!* That’s a terrible name for a restaurant”.
COM1: “And bring your hearing aid with you.”
COM2: “Ok, meet you at 8”.
COM1: “Never mind, I’ll text you.”
COM2: “A test?”
Pepperwood Bistro Brewery is actually a Burlington Lake Ontario shoreline upscale restaurant and former brewery. A little fancier than me and my pocketbook are accustomed to, but it’s not every day you can have a beer with lunch ** so no problem splurging a little. They tell us that Nickel Brook brews their signature beers now, including their Pepperwood (not Peckerwood) Cream Ale. Will this draftee make the cream dream team?
A golden bright clear pour, with a cream de la cream head. A mild malt aroma, no hops or zing indicated or anticipated. The taste is a nice malt, a bit of spice, with a crisp dry finish. Half full mouthfeel, not lager thin but not stout creamy. There is very slight bitter aftertaste. The spice was gone by quaff two leaving a nice mellow malt draft. Great meal and great service by the way, and the brew was OK too.
