Meh, very drinkable, light to medium bitterness. Hops are light, but there, but also slightly earthy. The malts are subtle, but come through more near the finish with a grassy hop end. Nothing special, a drinkable apa.

Keg at Ottawa Winter Brewfest. Disclaimer: This event used plastic cups, which may have prevented my ability to fully appreciate this beer. Hazy amber, small head. Light grapefruit aroma. Mid sweet with medium body and clean mouthfeel. Light flavoured with grapefruit and crystal malt. Mid bitter finish

A hazed reddish amber ale with a thin light mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with citrusy notes, floral hops, light grainy character, very nice. In mouth, a nice crisp biscuit malt with fruity esters, citrusy floral hops, light treacle, well done. Can from LCBO on Carling and Woodroffe.

This pale poured a nice Amber colour with a great, off white, creamy head. Scents include malt, citrus hops, spruce and grass. First swig was quite hoppy with grassy citrus flavours most prominent. Quite malty with light caramel flavours around the hood. Finish is bitter with hop flavour lingering...

Collingwood Downhill Pale Ale Can from my cousin. Beautiful orange gold with a thick head of foam. The nose is peppery grassy hop character while it has a light somewhat watery body. Decent flavor of flavor/herbal hoppiness And a dry finish ok but needs more body.

Pours a lightly hazy amber colour with a frothy light-beige head, great retention and thick, creamy, patchy lacing. The fruity malts with some metallic notes seems like smelling wet socks. Alright, might be like wet hay from the grain with the hops. The taste is much better thankfully. Fruity malts, mild grassy hops with a nice mild dry finish. Light grain lingers. Other than the aromas, a pretty nice Pale Ale.

Can: Poured an amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramel malt with light dry citrusy hops. Taste is mostly dominated by caramel malt with light sugar notes and some dry citrusy hops. Body is about average with good carbonation. Too much caramel malt for the style and hops flavours not powerful enough.

Good dose of citrus here. Light perfume. Pours orange with ok head. Malty backbone. Well-balanced, and easy to drink. Tall Can.

Draft - Perfumy sweet, leafy and some lemon grass. Glean gold with a decent white head. Light sweet peel and bitterness. Can - Sweet grapefruit, orange and caramel malts. Clear gold with a decent white head. Sweet caramel, resin and some orange with a dry finish. Smells much better than it tastes, still decent though.
