A decently laced white head on a golden body. The nose has fresh citrus and tropical hops, caramel, with a slightly sour fruit note. This is weird one - as if I am drinking a different beer from previous raters. First off, this is a tasty ale, but it is not an old style English pale ale. Tropical and citrus hop notes lead a busy taste profile. Melon, kiwi, peach and orange elements work with brown sugar and roasted grain to make a solid, non-astringent IPA. If I rated this as an English PA I would give it a horrible rating. As just a fruity IPA, I am enjoying it.

Biscuity malts, bready, grass. Lots of pale cereals, lacks a distinct UK happiness. Decent mouth feel, soft carb. Zero bitterness.... Pretty boring, run off the mill mediocre Ontario version of an English ale.

Clean golden-amber with a small head and a ring left on the brew. Cereal malt aromas with some waxiness and mild hops, giving hints of apples. The taste shows some sweet, fruity malts with enough hops to cut the richness in the end, but still a little too much for me. Hard to finish.
