Not to be confused with any other ‘pale ale’ on tap, this unique style of beer is copper coloured, medium bodied and generously hopped yielding a clean floral aroma and crisp finish. Industry experts have praised this distinguished India Pale Ale as one of the best available anywhere! Silver Medal, India Pale Ale Canadian Brewing Awards 2004

Dark amber color with creamy head. The aroma is very mild, some caramel; also, the beer is too cold. Mild caramel flavor with correct bitterness and not much hop character.
Ordinary Pale Ale.

This is not an IPA, unless we are speaking about the world according to Alexander Keith. Beyond not being an IPA it’s also boring. A little malty without any head or lacing, pours clear orange. Tastes like a lager. Average carbonation. On tap at the Beagle Pub.

Hazy golden orange with a thin white head. Pleasant sweet malt in aroma with english hops, vanilla and oranges. In mouth, a lighter IPA, but with a good malt base to keep it interesting and sustained light hops, with a touch of citrus. Thanks JM.

Low nose, light dusty. Golden,creamy head. Low on flavor - dusty malt, lightly canned, green hops. Lightbodied, mellow. Old rating: 5 4 7 3 12Neutral aroma. A bit darker amber than the usual IPA. Nice stable off-white creamy head. Light paperish, but otherwise fruity malt base. Hayish and grassy notes - a bit like fermenting grass actually. Ok balance.Exits with a slight bitter finish. Middle of the road.
