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.

Purchased at the LCBO in a Waterloo Seasonal Collection Mixer 6-pack. Pours a slightly hazy rich amber colour with a big frothy off-white head that last quite a long time and creates real good lacing. Caramel malt aromas with notes of toffee and the hop is present, but not strong like a traditional English IPA. Crisp mouthfeel, refreshing, and medium-light bodied. The sweetness from the caramel malt is nicely cut-off with some mild bitterness and hints of grass (found in the finish). Pretty mild overall and not a punch-in-the-face IPA, but much better than most Brick products.

Can - Orange peel, bread and some grains. Hops do peek through but very mild. Crystal clear orange with a creamy long lasting head. Resin and bitterness prevail. Needs much more depth of flavor, but not bad. Not quite an IPA.

Canette 473ml. De couleur dorée-cuivrée et claire. Nez de grains de malt sucrés, léger de houblon herbeux avec des notes fruitées (agrumes) et quelques traces de légumes bouillis sucrés. Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture très légèrement crémeuse. Très léger goût fruité 9agrumes) avec un léger goût de légumes bouillis sucrés lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi rapidement d’un goût de grains de malt sucrés avec de faibles traces de biscuits et de miel puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux aux notes asséchantes. Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux.

A golden IA with a thin light mocha head. In aroma, grainy malt with grassy hops, and light mineral notes. In mouth, a crisp malt with faint German like hops, lager like, boring. On tap at National Capital Craft Beer Festival, August 17, 2012.
