7/10 β€” Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 4 Overall 8
On tap at Watering Hole for the 3rd Anniversary. Pours a slightly hazy pale straw color with little to no head. Nice hop foward session with both citrus and pine aromas standing out big. Light body with a watery mouthfeel. The body has only a little more consistency than water, but there is a hint of malt in there somewhere. The hops really shine though and it’s not overly bitter. A pretty good 3.0% ABV easy drinking and refreshing session ipa. --- Beer merged from original tick of #031 / Y Market Niagara Session IPA on 26 Jun 2015 at 00:12 - Score: 7

Tap at Bungalow. Said to be German hops in a golden ale. Clean, pilsner-like malt nose, grassy hops. Clear blond color with a high head. Crackery malt, clean, crisp, a bit grassy. Very bitter finish. Crisp and clean and enjoyable.

Tap at Keyaki Spring 2015. Cloudy gold, lacy low head. Nice enough pineapple nose at first, then turns a bit gummy. Juicy pineapple flavor, that’s about it. Decent enough while very cold, but they should give up on this fruit.

Draft at Keyaki Spring 2015. Lightly hazy straw color with very little head. Nose is tropical fruit, pineapple and grain. Taste is similar but more balanced than the #006: Hey! Painapo! they did early on. Not sweet at all. Nice dry and crisp finish. Refreshing fruit beer. --- Beer merged from original tick of #021: Natsushichatteru Boy on 09 Jun 2015 at 21:59 - Score: 7
