Can, Quebec Pavilion, 2010 Winter Olympics. Deep copper-amber with a thin head. Woody hop aroma is fresh with fruity undertones. The malt is rich with earthy, caramelly notes. Earthy, herbal character. The hop bitterness is moderate, but integrated well with the earthy malts. Old school IPA, but nicely crafted. 7-4-8-4-15 = 3.8
Draft, brewpub. Bright copper colour. Toasty, crystal malt aroma. Sweetish palate is timid and mainly of crystal malt. Toasty, moderately bitter finish. Billed as an IPA, but you can’t take that seriously. 7-4-7-3-13 = 3.4

Very pale, yeasty appearance. Quite close to white, actually. Malty, flowery, spicy aroma. Hints of citrus. Mainly malty, slightly spicy. Spritzy carbonation. Clean. Fairly bland. A little bit of acidity in the finish shows promise.

Light golden colour. Fresh bready malt aroma. Flavour is also of bready malt, but is less pronounced. Light character. A very simple beer, but no particular flaws.
