Can from the lcbo. Pours a hazy brown, with a large beige head. Citrus and pine, with slightly burnt brown sugar and some light roast. Sticky cereals and some pine resin. Nice mouth feel, lively carb. Medium bitter finish with some light citrus rounding it out.

Can from the LCBO. Usually check ratings before most purchases, but you had me at Mr Canoehead. Hazy medium copper with a large dense cream coloured head that fades slowly leaving tight lace. Nose is bread, earth, brown sugar, some grass and pine. Light caramel sweetness with a medium- grassy bitterness. Skewed more towards the bitter side than I was expecting for a Red ale, but tasty. Mouth is medium and creamy with slightly soft carbonation and a dry finish. 7+/4/7+/3+/15 When life makes less sense than a Supertramp album, people call for one man. Mr. Canoehead.

This red ale poured a deep reddish amber colour with a creamy light brown head. Nice lacing. Scents include thick malt, hay and spruce. First swig was smooth and creamy with flavours of light smoke, caramel, bread and grass. Finish was medium bitter with hop flavour lingering.

Can that pours a hazy copper brown colour with an amber highlight. Big frothy-creamy beige head that last quite a while with full dirty lacing. This red ale does smell like the style with the maltiness, mild nuttiness and hints of caramel. Flavours of apples still malty with some caramel notes. Light hops lingers in the finish. A nice dry mouthfeel, but not too much. Some particles show in the last pour. This is quite a nice red ale with lots to offer without being too much.
