Executioner Ale is the property of the Castle on King and their official house ale brewed exclusively for the Castle by Grand River Brewing. 3 varieties of hops and a whole lot of malt make this a killer ale.

"The greatly anticipated GRB ale made exclusively for the Castle on King is finally on tap.
Taps a shimmering hazed amber-orange with rich sticky cap that lasts and laces up the glass.
Aroma is malty and lightly musty with a profuse bouquet of peach-grapefruit tones mingling with some grassy and woody notes...becomes more pungent as it warms. Nice nose to this.
Flavor is rich in crystal and amber malts in the front then a rush of fruity notes mingle with piney-citrus bittering.... appearing mid palate is a wee bit of complexity with a number of inflections discernible: honey and pine nuts, herbal botanicals, spiced sweet bread, lemon grass...all this leads to a wet and musty-sweet finish with ample metallic bitter hop "bite" to balance.
Excellent crafted APA like a cross between Anchor liberty and SN pale... the best brew so far from this brewer....only available at the Castle on King in Kitchener."
