Can from ther LCBO.
Pours a slightly hazy yellow, with a medium white head. Aroma is yeasty, sharp malts, lots of cereals, light berries, but nothing over the top. Mouth feel is creamy, carb is soft. Finish is semi sweet, light berries, lots of funky belgian yeast, sharp, medium bitterness, light pineapple.

I think this ipa is well balanced and not over-the-top bitter, which i like. The bitterness is rather smooth actually, not sure why these ratings are so low. Variety oack

Can: Poured a murky yellow/reddish color ale with a medium size foamy head with light retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of light citrusy hops with cranberry notes is OK. Taste is a mix of lightly bitter cranberry notes with some mild citrusy hops notes. Body is about average with OK carbonation. Not sure the mix of cranberry and hops really works well.

Can from the LCBO. Pat of the Across the Nation collaboration pack (2018, East). Lightly hazy medium orange amber with a small white head that fades quickly to a sheet and leaves sparse lace. Nose is light yeast, some banana, berries, cereal, grass, and some mineral notes. Light fruit sweetness with a medium- cranberry tartness along with a medium- grassy bitterness and some light funk. Mouth is medium- with soft carbonation and a dry fruity finish. 7/3/7-/3/13

Pours a clean enough golden-amber colour with a fluffy-foamy warm cap, decent lasting with some nice patchy lace. Saison smelling like the sweet Belgian Ale yeast and fresh grassy-citrusy hops of the IPA. Darker grains do come out, almost like rye. The cranberry juice is not very noticeable in the nose, and quite mild in the taste. Gives hints of sourness, maybe tartiness. Decent hop notes in the finish. Feels like a Saison with very light cranberries.

Not much foam on top of a usual orange body. The aroma is vegetable hops with soft hints of sweetness and just a slight hint of graham cracker. Flavour is soft pineapple and grapefruit with a watery mouthfeel. Could use more oiliness. Refreshing nonetheless but nothing very exciting here.

Mooch tasting, can
Hazy golden colour with red hue. The aroma is very floral and a bit fruity, hint of elderflower. Too acidic for this kind of beer, clashes with the Belgian yeast and with the hops; the malt base is robust.
The cook put too many ingredients in this dish, the result is chaotic and not necessarily pleasant.

Dull amber colour, with no head. On the nose, I'm not encouraged, just sort of meaty notes and not a whole lot else. This has a sharp sourness and, well, some hop bitterness, maybe hop spiciness. The finish is almost plausible, but it's tough work to get there. Disappointing.

341mL can, pours a hazy golden with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out harsh Belgian yeast, weird esters, and tart cranberries in there. Flavour is along the same lines, with tart cranberries, Belgian yeast, alcohol and harsh esters. Jumbled and lacking cohesion. Not good.
