The English know a thing or two about pale ale. West Coasters know a thing or two about having a good time. Naturally, we kept these facts in mind when we perfected the recipe for English Bay Pale Ale. Tradition is served in the smooth, mild flavour and caramel malt aroma, and that distinctive West Coast character comes through thanks to natural carbonation and careful maturing. The result? A real pale ale with will rise to any occasion.

Draft at brewery. Dark amber color. Small beige cap. Toasted malt aroma hints at brewed black tea. Flavors of toasted malt, caramel and aforementioned brewed tea. Medium bodied. Dull and uninspired.

6er from the lcbo.
Sweet corny malts, little to no hops. Astringent bitter finish, corn mash flavor, cooked veggies are evident. Thisis pretty bad.
