Common Loon APA is light, easy drinking and packs some serious flavour. At 4.6% it’s a smooth sipping APA, with hints of citrus and tropical fruits balanced with lightly toasted bread and fresh cut hay. Easy drinking, delicious and named after an incredible bird. What more could you want?

Can from the lickbow.
Hazy yellow pour, small white head. Aroma is wet paper, pale malts, hints of grass, and the slightest, faintest citrus Aroma. Mouth feel and carb are fine. Finish is light to medium bitter, hints if citrus and wet paper. This is so oooooooooooooooo boring. Introductory beer I suppose.

This APA poured a cloudy, medium yellow colour with a big, white, foamy head. Minimal lacing. Scents include citrus hops, cream and malt. First swig was smooth with med/low carbonation. Slightly sharp on the palate at first with hop flavour but eases out. Flavours of honey, hops and very light cereal. Finish is bitter with hops lingering. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

1 Pint can from a LCBO in Ottawa. Clear golden with a big white head. Low fruity on the nose. Taste is malty, hop present in the second row, more than expected with the labeled 38 IBU but less fruity than expected. Long lasting bitterness in the aftertaste. Medicore.

Pours a slight unfiltered golden colour with a very light amber hue. The head is frothy, warm, long lasting with some soapy lacing. Mostly cereal grain smell with some decent hops in the background. Hints of honey. The taste is a little more on the hoppy side, as a pale ale should be. The malt blends things out with some citrus notes. Quite a well-brewed APA.

Can from the Beer Store. Clear pale gold with a tiny white head that fades slowly to a sheet. Nose is light toffee with some tropical fruit and grass. Flavour is light sweet toffee with a medium- grassy bitterness. Mouth is medium- and slick with soft carbonation and a lingering light bitter finish. Would improve with better carbonation. 6/3/7/3-/13

Draft - Nice light malts and pithy hops. Clear gold with a nice white head. Light, sweet and a nice hoppy note. Well done.
