Sometimes our neighbours are just too enticing to resist! In this case, our newest ward-winning product pays homage to our naughty neighbours to the south, as our American Pale Ale has something for everyone! For hop lovers, the huge aroma of citrus and pine greet the nose and the hops continue on the palate as hoppy flavour persists, leaving a remarkably easy drinking crisp, dry finish. We pack all this hop aroma and flavour in a brew that is only 4.9% on purpose, which leaves a hugely sessionable beer that is perfectly refreshing on hot summer days!

Draft at Market@416 in Billy Bishop Airport in Toronto. Hazy medium gold pour. Froth white head is minimal. Mild citrus aroma has lemony notes. Flavor is biscuity malt and light citrus. More lemon and a hint of grapefruit. Some peppery note in the dry finish.

On tap at Bar Hop.
Great C-hop aroma, loads of citrus, but there is still a solid bready maltiness. Good carb, solod mouthfeel. Great citrusy finish. Just an all around great session pale ale, not too hoppy, but you get loads of great hop flavor, could drink it all night!

From tap at Brody's, Den Haag. Aroma is grainy malts and fruity hops with grass and citrussy notes. Good bitterness in the flavour. Body is light to medium. Simple but fine hoppy Golden or mild APA. Looking at some of the other ratings I do wonder if this was in the best condition though.

473 ml can. Pours a clear amber with full head. Aromas of earthy hops, tea, stoned fruit, dull pine and sweat. Flavors of lemon zest, bitter pine, toasted malts and cardboard. I think it says packaged Nov 2019 so that maybe what's up here. Or not...

Olfactif tropical et complexe avec du pamplemousse, de la mandarine, de la mangue; le tout sur une base de résine de houblon issu d’un houblonnage à cru. Une bonne mousse plutôt crémeuse se dépose et se maintient sur un liquide doré pale assorti d’une excellente limpidité. Un fruité faiblement modéré s’installe en entrée de bouche, développant des saveurs d’agrumes et se transformant rapidement en amertume légèrement âpre qui s’éternise en fin de bouche. Des notes de conifères assortissent la finale et l’étale pendant plusieurs secondes. L’aspect d’âpreté est non négligeable et à la limite de l’acceptable. Une très bonne APA rencontrant la plupart des critères du style. Exactement comme je les aime. Tropical and complex aromas with grapefruit, tangerine and mango; all on a base of hop grassy resin from dry hop. A good, rather creamy foam settles and is held on a pale golden liquid with excellent clarity. A mildly moderate fruitiness settles in my mouth, developing citrus flavours and quickly turning into a slightly bitter sensation that lasts until the end of the mouth. Notes of conifers match the finish and spread it for several seconds. The aspect of harshness is not neglectable and bordering on acceptable. A very good APA meeting most of the style criteria. Just the way I like them.
