473mL can, pours an opaque cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out gently dank hops, some tanginess, some citrus, and melon. Flavour is a little more muddled, with gentle dankness, melon, some tangy white wine hops, and moderate chalk. A bit gritty and earthy, but the hop character is quite good. Pleasant for a hazy, but still too chalky.

Poured from 355mL can (thanks Taylor). Black with dissipating beige head. Boozy bourbon, touch of chocolate and roast malt, but overall a bit unbalanced (too boozy).

355mL can, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out a nice deep bourbon barrel character, followed by medium roast, and alcohol. Flavour is boozy, with plenty of bourbon barrels, medium roast, harsh alcohol, and a touch of dry dark cocoa. Boozy as hell and slightly unbalanced -- I wish this were 4-5% less -- but the flavours are nice and the barrel character adds plenty of depth. Good but a bit too hot.

Lightly haze, bright golden-yellow colour with a big frothy, kind of creamy white cap, very long lasting with some thick soapy patches of lacing. Aromas of sweet-fruitiness from pineapple notes, hints of peaches as well with the herbal-citrus in the background. It does get bitter and dry after a while, which continues into the mouthfeel. Not much sweetness in the flavours. Pretty much a bunch of citrus peel and zest. What I thought was going to be a real sweet-fruity IPA, became quite a dry-zesty one. Amen.

(473ml can from The Wheeled, Barrie ON) Pours very cloudy slightly dull medium gold with a decent white head and lace. Aroma of dried mango, tangerine and grapefruit pulp, citrus peels, heavy fruity cannabis, some berries, lots of leaves, a little grapey brightness. Flavour is off-dry, oranges, some mango, soft berries, stone fruit, lime and grapefruit peels, moderate plus dankness, bready kind of brioche feel to the malt, drying finish with tingling oniony leafy hops, crushed citrus peels, dusty yeast profile, light to moderate bitterness that’s amped a touch by the burn. Medium-bodied, slick, low carbonation. Solid brew but feels a bit 'over-hopped', not super juicy and doesn't really let the hop character sing.

Can: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dark roasted malt with some black chocolate notes and some vanilla and bourbon notes. Taste is also a mix of dark roasted malt with some bitter black chocolate notes with some bourbon notes with vanilla and very faint residual sugar notes. Body is pretty full with some good carbonation and light warming alcohol notes. Enjoyable dry bourbon-aged imperial stout.

Can: Poured a clear golden color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light cereal notes and buttery notes with some residual sugar notes. Taste is also a mix of clan cereal noted with some faint notes of butter and some residual sugar notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Easy drinking and nicely brewed to the style guideline as far as I know.
