I wanted to be nice because commercially successful macro beers can be automatically vilified by craft beer aficionados. But there is indeed very little here. The nose if fairly faint, the head a bit fizzy and the colour is a thin yellow/orange. Bready malt is easily the most prominent taste in the profile. A spritz of citrus distinguishes it from commercial lagers, but it is not enough to warrant the name \"India Pale Ale\". It remains a refreshing beverage for social and summer drinking situations, but that is all.

Well, not much to see or taste here folks. IPA!? that’s a joke, this is a sad no flavour macro.

A friend take this beer from his vacation in Canada. Kind of bitter taste with some fruity hints. Old paper ratings before Ratebeer, so why not rate them in hindsight.

More like a blond ale... whtas the IPA in the name? Rather malty, caramel and sweet, decent hops, but not really hoppy.
