A dense white head on a light golden body. The nose is enjoyable with elements of cereal, honey, and hay. As expected, Pils malts are in the forefront of the taste profile, with some extra fruity hops, dry grass, honey and roasted cereal blended in. A slight metallic taste is a bit odd, but doesn’t diminish the success of the overall taste.

Nose is moderate spiced rye and hops. The balance of the nose runs through the taste profile, featuring spiced rye, east coast hops, and soft, bready caramel malt. The balanced taste lasts through the taste experience. A very nice middle of the road rye pale ale.

Slightly unfiltered, golden colour with a creamy whitish head, good retention and full foamy lacing streaks. Big tangerine aromas with some sourness and other citrusy-zesty notes. This continues into the flavours with the zest-sour plus tangerine notes. Some light bitterness in the finish happens, with a touch of dryness. A decent Tangerine Sour beer.

Clear yellow pour, with a large white head. Aroma is super lactic and has a harsh astringency. Light sweetnessx can't say it's specifically raspberry. Finish is chemical, harsh, weirdly lactic and very hitter at the same time with a chemical raspberry note. Jesus this was f'n awful.

Can. Clear copper, small off white head. Candied citrus nose, grapefruit zest, very pithy, with a strong caramel malt note. Medium to high bitterness, it's ok, nothing special.. But malt bill, with alot of pine and sweet citrus zest.

Can from the local YIG.
Hazy yellow pour, with a medium white head. Pungent aroma, wet grass, freshly cut grass, sweet passionfruit, some citrus. Mouth feel is thin, and carb is standard. Medium to high bitterness, quite pithy, passionfruit notes fade, and lead to just lemon zest, and light cereals.

Can. Slightest big of hazy yellow, with a large white head. Pina colada aroma, juicy, very very bitter, but oddly sweet, but not in a good way. I'm having a hard time finding any malts, some light citrus. This is a mess.

Can from the lbco. Cloudy yellow pour, medium white head. Brett aroma, tropical fruit, light citrus zest, crackery malts. Solid mouth feel and carb. Low bitterness, tangy, and bright. Lemon drop and pineapple dominate, not bad.

Can from the LCBO. Pours a dark brown, with a small tan head. Aroma is nutty, and softly roasted with some light bread, and grass. Mouth feel is standard, and the carb is fine. Light crackery malts, light bread, solid nuttiness bordering on artificial, and quite sweet. Low bitterness, sweet nutty finish. Reminded me of Rogue Hazelnut, but watered down, and a little sweeter.

Can from the lcbo. Pours a clear orange with a medium white head. Aroma is pretty much all grapefruit, and not much else. Its a nice softly sweet grapefruit and not too pithy or strong. Good carb, good moith feel. Low to medium bitterness, with a semi sweet grapefruity finish. Im not sure i enjoy these grapefruit flavoured ipas. Its tough to not make them taste fake i find. This isnt awful, but i dont see myself revisiting it. Wouldnt you prefer having a heavily hopped ipa that has grapefruit aromas and flavours naturally from the hops?
