Beer of the last week: Orange Peel Ale

This past weekend, I sampled Orange Peel Ale from Great Lakes Brewery in Etobicoke, ON.

Orange Peel Ale, Etobicoke, ON

I have had this beer before and once again found it quite tasty. This is more of a novelty beer that I would serve after a meal, preferably to friends at a party. I could see this beer going quite well at Christmas time, though it is a seasonal beer and I doubt that it is available at that time since the brewery makes Winter Ale. Orange is most often associated with wheat beers so I found it interesting to have an orange ale. Would I drink it again? Yes. Would I drink it whilst watching a hockey game? Probably not.
