Can from the lcbo. Orange pour with a nice sticky, white head. Aroma is up front candied orange zest, sweet bread malt, grassy and lightly herbal. Mouth feel is good, carb is spot on. Finish is medium, bordering on highly bitter. Strong pithy bitterness, more notes of orange zest, some resinous pine and light green tea.

Can: Poured a light amber color ale with a large off-white foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of dry hoppy notes with light bitterness. Taste is also dominated by dry hoppy bitter notes with some light bitterness and a dry finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Too dry for a white IPA with wheat malt hard to notice.

Part of their Across the Nation Collaboration - Out West (2018). Pours a slight hazed amber colour with a frothy warm cap, good stay and some thick foamy lacing. Malty aromas giving some sweetness, but the hops seems to come up in here with some grassiness and citrus notes. The citrus continues in the taste with the grass giving some big bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is dry. The only part of a witbier I feel is maybe the lingering of spices after the hops calm down. Maybe some oranges as well. Too bad.

Okay foam and orange body. Smells like dirty socks with hints of brown sugar. Flavour is sharp barley and hops, with a watery back end. I didn't find this one particularily charming.

Mooch tasting, can
Hazy copper colour. Light aroma of passion fruit. Sweetish caramel base, but mild, with light coriander notes, and some hop resins.
Not too bad, a bit old style though.

341mL can, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out light piney hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with piney hops, biscuity malt, and light citrus. Piney and bitter, with little depth. Decent.

Amber, with a thin head. The coriander is the most prominent thing on the nose, with some subtropical hops and a touch of biscuity malt. Has a fair bit of bitterness, and then more coriander. Hops aren't super-bright, but the bitterness and balancing malts help. Decent.
