About
Alexander Keith's beer has been raised in Nova Scotia since 1820. It's a province where the water informs every aspect of its character from dramatic scenery, to distinctive culture and of course, exceptional beer. The coast itself is where everything comes together: the land, the sea, and the people who have called it all home for generations. Our inspiration, since 1820, is derived from these remarkable qualities and the extraordinary people met along the way.

On tap at Halifax Airport, NS. Pale, frothy and almost tasteless - the Canadian equivalent of Greene King IPA - that is, an IPA by name only.

On tap. Pours a clear light gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of earthy grains, straw and a hint of grass. Flavor is similar with lots of grains and hay with some straw supporting.

On tap. Pours a clear red-brown with a small, off-white head that dissipates to an outer ring, leaving spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, bread and light fruit. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, bread, light fruit and a hint of nuts with a dry, mildly bitter finish. Light body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Better than I thought it would be.

Can. Pours a clear gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is corn malt and grain. Medium body, corn malt, toasted grain, metallic finish, ok.

Can - This is not an IPA in case anyone is wondering. It used to be but is just a lager now and they didn’t want to change the name for fear of a change in marketing. Light pale malts. Clear gold with a rich white head. Light sweet malts and not much else. A typical lager with sweet notes and not a touch of flavor or bitterness.

Keg at Toronto Island BBQ & Beer Co. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of grain and orange pith. Flavour of watered down orange juice and flabby malts. Thin body with a watery, spritzy mouthfeel. Lively fizz. This is not an IPA - it’s a Lager. And not a great one at that. I couldn’t finish a pint.

An orange amber ipa with a thick collapsing mocha head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with light grassy floral hops, reminiscent of the west coast, OK. In mouth, a sweet caramel malt with light resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light cloying sweetness, but I was expecting worse. Can from LCBO.

A reddish amber ale with a thick frothy lacing light mocha head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with nice resinous floral hops, light pink grapefruit, OK. In mouth, sweet caramel malt with light grassy floral hops, light treacle, a tad too sweet, not bad but... Ok, it’s a Labatt product... Can from LCBO.
