Forward Progress is the multi-award-winning flagship Pale Ale from Calgary’s Annex Ale Project.

It has become a staple of the Alberta beer scene, celebrated for its incredible consistency and its status as a "gold standard" for the style in Western Canada.
Beer Description
This Pale Ale pours a slightly hazy, glowing golden-orange color with a thick, resilient white head and excellent lacy retention.
Aroma: It features a bright and complex hop bouquet. Expect dominant notes of zesty grapefruit, juicy peach, and tropical passionfruit, underscored by a subtle hint of resinous pine and floral honey.
Palate: On the tongue, it is medium-light-bodied and remarkably balanced. It leads with a delicate, bready malt sweetness that provides a sturdy base for the vibrant hop flavors. The finish is crisp and clean, with a moderate, punchy bitterness that refreshes the palate without being overwhelming.
Profile: It has a highly sessionable ABV of 5.2% and a moderate bitterness of 40 IBU, hitting the "sweet spot" for all-day drinkability and flavor impact.
Technical Notes: Brewed with a focus on late-addition and dry-hopping techniques to maximize aroma and flavor while keeping bitterness in check. It utilizes a blend of modern Northwest hops (typically including Citra and Mosaic) and high-quality Alberta malted barley to create a beer that is truly reflective of its regional roots.
