Our original brewery in Toronto’s historic Distillery District, known as “Tankhouse #3” was built in 1879 as a storage building for bulk spirits waiting to be filled into barrels. It was in this building in 2003 that our Tankhouse Ale was born. Now made with all organic ingredients, we use an abundance of organic hops and five different organic malts to produce a rich, fiery pale ale, copper-red in colour, and truly satisfying in flavour.

8/14/2009 Picked this up at The Beer Store in Niagara Falls on our recent trip. Pours a clear reddish amber with a huge bubbly off white head that leaves lots of lace as it slowly recedes. Smells of grass, spicy and citrus hops, light caramel, and a slight mineral aroma. Taste is wow different. A bit of nutty chocolate right up front that I wasn’t expecting from the aroma. Citrus caramel mineral and grass linger in the finish. Moderate carbonation, medium body. Wow this one is not what I expected. The mineral aroma and taste was a bit of a turn off for me, but the caramel nutty chocolaty was really nice. Good but could be better.

On tap somewhere in Toronto, boy what a drunken weekend, but the notes made it in the phone. Its toasty caramel with some hops, its slighty spicy and smoky with a little bitterness at the end. pretty nice.

(bottle) dark amber colour; aroma of fruit, bit of longan - very pleasant and promising; taste disappoints - very simple, with unpleasant bitter finish tried again in 2011 - still disappointing: (bottle) clear medium amber colour, tall tan head; aromas mostly floral, noticeable lack of citrus and fruit this time; flavour is still simple, palate watery -> worst APA I have ever had - it could easily be another Rickards crappy product

In pint glass in Toronto Massive, chunky beige head. Brilliant Magnificent deep red color. Some malt on the aroma, but it is slight. Later in the glass the malt was more pronounced with slight pine. Full mouthfeel with maltiness following through to a bitter end. I enjoyed this beer, but was mostly pleased by the appearance.....would have liked to have said the same about the taste!

On tap at the Brewpub. Good amber color with lacing. Fruity, hoppy aroma, seems like cascade taking the lead. Flavor of darkish malts, caramel. Big and well-balanced with a bitter hoppy finish. Hop-driven and well-done.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 29 Sep 2007) Reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity, slightly grainy nose with notes of dark fruit. Malty, fruity taste with dried fruit and balanced amounts of citrussy hops in the finish. Nice balance. Hardly exciting, but still quite nice.
