570. Henderson Brewing Co. (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - Signals

“Rush and Henderson are proud to announce the third in their series of premium Belgian-inspired beers. ‘Signals’ is a classic Belgian-style blonde with Riesling must and cold-pressed apples, delivering complex aromas of stone fruit, peach and mild spice that carry through to a warming finish. This release is all the more special for us at the brewery because the fire hydrant that adorns the album cover was manufactured, almost a century ago, just 100 or so meters away at 137 Sterling Road.”

Nice wine-like character up front, with some apple peel there on the back end. Very nice dry finish that brings some of the sweet fruit flavor along with the bite of the high alcohol (12.9% ABV). A touch more interesting, on first taste, than the Xanabrew I tried yesterday.

"A boy lies in the grass with one blade stuck between his teeth. A vague sensation quickens in his young and restless heart."
