Quidi Vidi - 1892 Traditional Ale

Once again life has taken me to what now seems like my second home, Newfoundland. This is not a bad thing as there is an abundance of brewers that I would not otherwise get exposed to. One such brewer is Quidi Vidi. Offering a variety of ales, the Quidi Vidi Brewery is a local success.

For the first time I tried the 1892 Traditional Ale. This is a very easy drinking ale with crystal clear, amber colour, medium carbonation, and creamy head with a slightly yellow tone. The aroma is mild but sweet, and the body is full but not filling. The flavor is of toffee and roasted almond with a lemon peel finish.
I would recommend this to anyone. This is a great middle range ale that will offer itself well to light and darker ale drinkers. It goes well with a meal as it is not filling. It pairs well with food such as fish & chips.
Overall rating: 4/5

  1. I can't wait to try this beer. The QV light is the very best light beer I've ever tasted, so I'm sure this is a strong one too...
