Not really any type of porter. It’s just a dark amber ale. Low hops indeed, but not crisp or lager like at ale. C’est what toronto

Nice spicy-Pils-like aromas for a light lager. Pretty golden for the style as well, with a white head, average stay and decent lacing lines. The taste is fairly hoppy as well. Getting a little rustiness, but balancing with mild spiciness is fine. Even getting a tad haze near last pour. A pretty decent Light Lager with a Pils touch that gives the style some bite.

Slightly unfiltered, darker amber colour with a creamy warm, light-beige head, good stay and full thick creamyish lacing. Fresh, fruity-cereal malt base with some Pils-spiciness in the nose, with hints of caramel and nuttiness. The mouthfeel is a little slick, not too thick with a touch of dryness in the end. The base is caramel malts in the flavours with some decent light grassy hops, and a tad spicy notes. This is quite an interesting bitter with a spicy-Pils twist to it. I do like this!

Darker brown colour, clean with ruby-copper highlights, nice lively carbonation creating a beautiful, big head that is light mocha-coloured, almost creamy and very long lasting. Nice foamy lacing clouds are left. Dark fruity aromas from the malts, with a touch of roastiness, chocolate, cherries and oak-vanilla. The mouthfeel is not too thick, so quaffable - with a lightly drying finish. Some decent bitterness right before the end, and hoppiness lingers. You then get a tad roasted barley on the tongue. Coffee flavours, mild apples and the alcohol is quite well-hidden. A very easy-drinking Imperial Porter that has nothing too strong... just nicely blended.

Clean golden colour with a white cap, decent stay and some nice sticky lacing. Spicy malt Pilsner aromas with cereal notes and a tad apples. The mouthfeel is nicely drying, more and more. Milder spicy and cereal malts, but all quite good. A pretty good German-style Pilsner with a nice balance of spiciness and maltiness.

Toned down to a 5.2% ABV version, calling it a Hazy Pale Ale now. Lightly hazed, golden colour with a frothy white cap, good stay and leaving nice foamy lacing. Fresh citrus hoppy aromas with hints of vanilla-zest and oats. Gets hazier as it pours with some particles coming down. Lemon zest taste with a tad wax, apples and some mild grassiness. Quite a nice Hazy Pale Ale that refreshes, and has a little more punch than most of this style - almost feeling like a Hazy IPA.

Fairly clean (gets hazy at last pour), medium-golden with mild carbonation, with a frothy white cap, good stay and lots of lacing. Belgian spicy yeast aromas with nice herbal-hop notes, hints of citrus and some wheat-banana touch that comes out eventually. The flavours are a blend of light grassy-citrusy hops, with the Belgian yeast adding nice spiciness, a mineral water touch and a tad bananas. A pretty nice brew with a mix of Belgian Blonde and Saison.

On my way to Collective Arts, ending up in this back road, where I found Clifford Brewing. Slightly hazed, golden-amber colour with a warm-whitish head that stays quite some time and leaves nice creamyish lacing. The guava is very present in the nose with mild sourness and the blood orange sitting in the background. This last fruit shows a little more in the taste with some tartiness left on the tongue. A decent fruity-sour brew with guava and some blood orange notes.

An amber copper ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, OK. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity caramel malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, light treacle, OK. On tap at Craft Beer Market Ottawa.
