Grumpy Bear Honey Wheat is one of the most beloved year-round offerings from Canmore’s Grizzly Paw Brewing Company. Despite its intimidating name, this beer is famously easygoing and sweet-natured. It belongs to the American Wheat Ale family but with a distinctly Albertan twist: the addition of local honey. It is designed to be a "comfort beer" soft, smooth, and subtly sweet making it a favorite for those who want a bit more body and "soul" than a light lager provides.
Beer Description
Grumpy Bear pours a hazy, pale straw-yellow typical of unfiltered wheat beers with a frothy white head and a soft, inviting glow.
Aroma: The nose is delicate and "sunny." It leads with the scent of freshly baked bread and sweet clover honey, followed by a light, floral perfume. There is a faint, spicy note from the yeast and hops, but the dominant impression is one of natural, unrefined sweetness.
Palate: On the tongue, it is medium-bodied with a creamy, "pillowy" mouthfeel provided by the high wheat content. It leads with a gentle, honey-drenched grain flavor, followed by a soft malt backbone. The bitterness is almost non-existent, serving only to keep the honey from feeling syrupy. The finish is smooth and clean, with a lingering hint of wildflower sweetness.
Profile: It sits at an ABV of 5.0% and a very low bitterness of 14 IBU, ensuring maximum "crushability."
Technical Notes: This beer is brewed using a significant proportion of malted wheat, which gives it its signature hazy appearance and silky texture. The "secret ingredient" is 100% pure Alberta honey, added during the brewing process. Unlike honey-flavored sodas, the yeast ferments most of the sugar in the honey, leaving behind the complex floral aromatics and a subtle "honey-kissed" finish rather than a heavy, cloying sweetness.
