NatureLand Organic Lager
When I saw NatureLand Organic Lager, "Canada's first organic beer", how could I resist? I must say when I pulled this out at a barbecue it was met with a resounding "hmmmmm". The first thing that struck me as we all checked out the label was that it was made in Prince George. Prince George, unless it's changed a lot since the last time I visited, did not strike me as the sort of place people consider whether someone sprayed a little bug spray on their hops. Not to knock the Great White North, hey I spent most of my life up there too, but really...The bugs are quite big, pesticide is like cologne up there. So my point is, I was expecting to see somewhere in the Kootneys or Lower Mainland, or on the Island somewhere. It seems that NatureLand, owned by Pacific Western Brewing, has been in the beer business for forty years with a whole list of firsts on their website. Also it seems there is one of North America's largest aquifers running under Prince George providing pristine water for brewing. Who knew?
The labels promises a European style lager with a light crisp and refreshing taste. A little too light for me. It was an interesting conversation piece, and the website seems to indicate a great community company but a little flat on taste.
