Kölsch is our flagship brand and our lightest offering.

Patterned off of German Kölsch that was originally produced in the city of Köln, Germany. Traditionally, this beer was brewed using a portion of the grain as wheat instead of barley.

The aroma is that of cereal grains with a light floral note at the end. Upon drinking, the flavours subtly take over the mouth leaving very little bitterness. There is a noticeably sweet taste that appears just before the carbonation cleans the palate. Read Less

Our most complex beer, the Clocktower Red is brewed with a blend of five different types of malt and two types of hops.

Aside from the rich colour, the malts add varying degrees of sweetness: caramel, chocolate, and toffee can all be found in both the flavour and aroma. Perhaps most interesting is the presence of a nuttiness, that presents itself on the nose and mouth.

The hops used in the Clocktower Red are best characterized as citrus or pine flavours. The citrus and pines notes stick around in the mouth afterwards leaving a very pleasant after taste. Read Less

THE PUMPKIN ALE CHARACTERISTICS :
It pours dark amber to orange, similar to the colour of roasted pumpkin. The flavour of the beer is slightly sweet, but the pumpkin flavour will then burst forth when left to simmer on the drinkers palette. The aroma of the pumpkin is quite intense. As the beer warms slightly more notes of pumpkin and Autumn spices emerge. It has very little aftertaste, but does leave a dry tingle afterwards. There is real pumpkin added into the mashing process,
which is then added with the hops into the boil.

White Stout is an original Clocktower Brew Pub “mash up” made from two different styles of beer; a WiT beer and a Stout.

Nitrogen is added to the White Stout to lend creaminess and extra body. The smaller sized nitrogen bubbles in the carbonation, also help to bring the lemon zest to the surface at first taste.

The aroma is reminiscent of light fruit and spring flowers. The main flavors are honey, citrus, spicy pepper, and fruit.

As the beer warms, Hoppy Frooty-O’s reveals hints of fresh apple, lemon, tangerine and melon, in both it’s flavour and aroma.

Is Spring Coming Bock – Tasting Notes
Much like Ottawa weather Is Spring Coming Bock teases you in one direction and suddenly shifts. This clean golden ale is light and refreshing on first sip just like a warm spring day or random February days. Light cereal and bready aromas waft through the warm winter air.

Unlike our weather, this bock is very easy to take. The twist just like that random snow storm is a flurry of alcohol, it comes in at 5.7% abv. Just high enough to help forget the slide to work and home. The higher alcohol presents as light fruity flavours and a slight warming after a few sips. Bocks are malt forward beer that are usually very clean. Is Spring Coming Bock is our unique homage to the Maybock style of beer. Read Less
