Monteith's Richly Hopped ORIGINAL ALE Brewed to the same Monteith's family recipe since 1868, Monteith's Original Ale is considered a 'pale ale' in the heritage of beers brewed last century.
Monteith's Original Ale has a solid malty characteristic tending to the dark crystal malt range, with notes of caramel or burnt sugars and some fruity/berry-fruit notes in the aroma.
However, its key focus is extra bitterness, as the tradition of pale ales tends to be beers with significant hop characteristics.
Monteith's Original Ale has an Original Gravity (OG) of 1039, a traditional alcohol of 4.0%, a high perceived bitterness of 21 and a final gravity of 1009+. This combination provides a good body to the beer.
It is the ideal beer to drink when you are enjoying the wild foods of the West Coast, especially the classic West Coast delicacy - whitebait.
