Can from the lcbo. Slightly hazy orange pour, medium white head. Nice pine resin Aroma, lightly roasted malts, hints of bread and yeast. Nice mouth feel and carb. The finish is quite a bit more bitter than expected, strong pithiness. Resinous finish, with some buttery diacetyl notes.

Can from the LCBO. Clear medium amber with a large fluffy white cap that leaves lots of tight lace. Nose is light toffee, grass, light citrus and a hint of pine and some butter. Flavour follows with a light sweet caramel and a medium- grass bitterness. Mouth is medium- with average carbonation and a dry finish. 7-/4/6/3/12

Can: Poured a clear amber color ale with a large foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with light caramel notes is OK. Taste is a mix of citrusy hops, light oxidation, some lightly caramelized malt with a dry finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Lacking some hops floral undertones to truly shine.

Mildly hazy golden-amber colour with a creamy warm head, very nice retention and thick creamy lace. Spicy hop nose with citrus notes and hints of honey. Mouthfeel is bitter with a nice dryness in the end. Flavours are the same as smell, nicely balanced between the citrus zest bitterness, spicy hops and hints of grains. What a refreshing, bitter citrusy IPA with lots going on. Not sure about the Session label, but a very nice IPA on its own.
