750ml bottle from the lcbo. Hazy, Cloudy yellow pour, with a medium white head. Aroma is very juicy, floral and hoppy. Loads of tropical fruit, stone fruit, citrus and a nice twany of tartness and subtle funk. Perfect mouthfeel, and carb. Low to medium bitterness, more tropical fruit with a nice malted wheat, and light tart lemon finish. Really nice stuff.

Light hazy yellow, small white head. Lots of stone fruit, grass, and citrus. Some mango, and fresh hop pellets. Prefect mouth feel, and carb. The finish actually has a little bitterness but finished sharp and dry with a lovely mango, citrus flavour. Most session ipas have a slightly sweet, and dry minimal aftertaste. This is flavourful, and subtle but also sharp and refreshing. Really nice.

Clean, lighter golden colour with a frothy-bubbly, white cap, good stay and leaving some foamy lacing streaks. Cereal malt aromas base with some stronger bitter, grassiness, a touch of apples and yeast. The taste shows mostly apples over the maltiness, and a touch of bitter hoppiness. Not a bad sports beer, with more hops for a lager than fans are use to.

Dark brown colour with some ruby highlights, a frothy mocha-coloured head with average stay, leaving a thin coating on the brew. Roasted barley nose with a touch of dark fruits and hints of molasses. The mouthfeel is smooth, slightly oily, but a nice building hoppy dryness does appear with time. The malted barley continues in the taste with again, a blend of that dark fruitiness, molasses, but some coffee does show up and tad cacao. The grassy-piney mild hops left, lingers. Quite a decent Stout with the roasted malt shinning the whole way, and hops that just come out at the right time.

355ml can from the brewery on a trip there. Slightly unfiltered, golden colour with a fizzy cap that disappears quickly leaving a few lacing traces. Brett-funky aromas with earthiness and sourness, blended with fruitiness and citruses. The taste shows good sour notes that lasts a while, with the sumac fruitiness. A nice sumac Saison that goes down nicely with sourness and fruitiness well balanced.

Clean, very light golden-yellow with a warm, off-white cap that stays quite a while for the style, and leaves good sticky lacing. Big cereal aromas from the malt, with a nice balance of grassy hops. The taste is milder, but still pretty decent with the cereal grains, light hops and apple notes. They must of changed something with this beer, as it pretty good for a Light Lager.

Can from the brewery pouring a clean, light golden-yellow colour with a frothy-bubbly white cap, good stay and lots of thick, soapy lacing. Beautiful, fresh spicy aromas of Pils with herbal notes coming along later. The spiciness shows up with time in the taste with hoppy herbs in the finish. Actually, quite a nice micro-Pils to enjoy at a stadium game.
