Our crisp and clean Canadian IPA is medium-coloured and slightly hoppy. Its citrus hops and caramel maltiness make this a distinctly drinkable IPA, delivering the substantial body you expect without going over the top.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy amber copper with a small, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Aroma of caramel malt, orange peel and floral hops. Sweet flavour of bready caramel malt, grapefruit, honey and grassy hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Lacks character.

A very sweet, malt dominant beer. Less \"IPA like\" than Keiths. Not offensive, but also not an IPA as we know it today.

Can via the lickbo.
Clear amber, small white head. There is that cheap malt, and corny veggie aroma with some light piney hops. Regular carb, and mouthfeel. Finish is a medium bitter, with some light hops and more sweet, corny, veggie malts. This was bad.

This IPA poured a nice amber colour with a frothy off white head. Medium lacing. Scents include a little caramel dough and metal. First swig was not bad. Not overly hopped, nice and malty. I’m good with it. Flavours of caramel,toast and hay. Finish is malty with a little hoppy bitterness lingering.

Can from the LCBO. Clear copper colour with a quick fading one finger white head. Nose is mostly malts with honey and biscuit and just a hint of floral hops. Taste follows the nose with a moderate honey and toffee sweetness and only a hint of bitterness. Mouth is quite light and thin with soft carbonation. Not much else to say. 5/3/4/2/9-

Can: Poured a medium amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light bitter hops with light caramel malt hops. Taste is also dominated by bitter hops with a limited flavour profile with some lightly sweet caramel malt notes. Body is a bit light with good carbonation. Taste like an IPA that was brewed at the turn of the century.

Second bad IPA i’ve had tonight. This one is better than the beer academy in that its drinkable, but worse in that they didn’t even attempt to do the style. As much of an IPA as alexander keiths. Only a little better of a lager at least
