Dark ruby, light brown pour, with a small off white head. Aroma is very malty, and quite sweet. Lots of bread, and sweet grains. Caramels and slight nuttiness round it out. The finish is very low on the bitterness scale, with just boat loads of sweet, bread malts. Sweetness approaches cloying at the end.

Typical golden ale for the masses. Light malts, no hops, faint corn, and vegetables. Boring, and bland.

Hazy yellow, small white head.
Light citrus aroma with alot of malted wheat, and a load of butter (diacetyl?)
Light body, soft carb. Light wheat finish with a touch of citrus. Meh.

(Tap) Hazy amber with small white head. Pleasant citrus and spice aroma. Medium body with modest carbonation. Nice citrus flavour with soft malt and some spice hints. Pleasant and refreshing.

Has some haze. Thin head. Has bitterness but hops aren’t super fresh. That cardboard element…it’s their own branded restaurant at YUL so not really able to give them a pass on freshness. Ok malt, hint of biscuit.

Draught, YUL. Pale and hazy, thick head. Balanced, moderate bitterness, nice sweetness but these hops don’t seem super fresh. Otherwise this would be quite a bit better.

My first Canadian IPA, I believe. 473 ml can found earlier today at a convenience store in Montreal. I pour inside of a provided room glass that is tinted but in any case see a dark gold liquid completed by a billowy head of almost white foam. It appears there will be some lacing. The scent is lightly hoppy, wood and something sweet. The taste is a step up. Significant hops, cedar, grain, malt, biscuit and touches of honey and toffee. A little dank and nicely bitter. A decent IPA.

(473ml can bought somewhere in Amos by my better half) Pours hazy medium gold with a pretty solid white head and lace. Notes of pineapple, sweet orange, mixed citrus peel, lightly caramelized cereals, some light to moderate resin, tangy floral/musky passionfruit is rather out of place in the middle of the sip to finish, which has soft bitterness and more of that passionfruit. Light to medium bodied, average carbonation. Solid for a macro IPA but why the heck they felt the need to add in the passionfruit without really building a beer around it, I'm not sure.
