A hazed blonde ale with a thick frothy lacing white head. In aroma, beautiful sweet fruity malt with loads of citrusy pulp, light Brett, light tropical fruits, earthy character, nice and complex. In mouth, a nice grapefruit pulp malt with light acidity, light Brett, fruity esters, nice and refreshing. Bottle from LCBO.

Pours a hazy, light golden-yellow colour with a frothy white cap, average retention and a bit of foamy lace. Citrus notes in the nose with Belgian Ale yeast that gives a sweetness with some mild grass to balance things. Earthy flavours with the yeast and hints of lemons, bubblegum, spices. Seems like a light brew overall. Things are pretty mild all-around, but decent and refreshing for the style.

Pours a hazy yellow-beige colour, lemonade-looking, with a white bubbly head, decent retention but not much lacing. Beautiful fresh citra hop aromas with lots of citrus notes, light grassiness and Belgian Ale yeast soft-sweetness. Looking at the 14 IBU, wondering how hoppy this will be judging from the nose. Wow, first sip is crazy sour, not bitter. Then I read the description on the label. Yep, a sour. Decent fruitiness, earthiness and yeast. Gets better as it goes, glad I tried, but not one I would have again. Interesting to say the least.

Bottle from the LCBO. Cloudy pale yellow under a large white active head that lingers. Nose is citrus and tropical fruit and a touch of funk and floral notes. Very light sweetness with a medium- grapefruit and lemon zest bitterness and light+ tartness. Mouth is medium- with active carbonation and a quick finish. This is an interesting and highly drinkable combination. 8/4/8/3+/15+

This IPA poured a very light yellow colour with a nice big, bright white head. Minimal lacing. Scents include grassy, citrus hops with a little hay. First swig was not as hoppy as I thought it was going to be. Quite nice with citrus hops most prominent. Pineapple and orange citrus to be exact. Finish is almost floral soapy on the palate with the many flavours of hops lingering .

Quite tasty. Big hoppy simcoe vibe here with pineapple and tangerine - not sure what’s from bretta and what’s from the hops but cool vibe like reggae beach bars. Hazy golden pour with decent head and lacing. Light tangy finish. Tap at Bar Hop brewco.
