Second West Coast IPA of the night (the other being Collective Arts Summit Peak). This one is fairly clean, golden colour with an amber hue. The head is frothy, warm-white with decent retention and sticky lacing clouds. Some good piney nose with a caramel malt base, a touch of rye-spiciness, yeast and citrus. The mouthfeel is wet, and the dryness in the end is soft, easy. Flavours are piney, caramel malts, good grassy hoppiness and a tad yeastiness. A little truer on the West Coast-style IPA, but a little less special than the Summit Peak.

Can from the LCBO. Lightly hazed pale copper with a small shot lived white cap that produces spotty lace. Nose is citrus, pine and melon with some light grains. Light fruity sweetness with a medium pine and grapefruit bitterness. Mouth is medium slick with average carbonation

A high light tan head with spotty lacing. Nose is well roasted dark coffee, some chocolate and a hint of fruity hops. Dense and surprisingly slick for a 4.5%er. The roasted coffee and malt continues into the taste profile. Dark chocolate, chocolate milk, citrus hops, and caramel round out a really well crafted stout.

A real palate cleanser! A very tart and fruity gose. Lemon, lime, orange rind and spice. Sourness and acidity really grab the back of the jowls!

A solid, fresh and juicy IPA. Grapefruit, orange, and fruit rind hops tempered by some tropical fruit notes. Classic slightly sweet bready IPA malts. A breath of fresh air in a storm of East Coast fruit juice!

full white head on a translucent golden body. The nose features slightly rindy citrus notes, caramel malt and pine. A healthy citrus and pine hop bite leads the taste profile. Slick caramel malt with apricot underpin the hops. Sweet bread balances the hop lead. Astringent but enjoyable. A little heat from the ABV.

A big, sour, musty fruit nose. Taste has classic sour and tart fruit profile with the density, richness and staying power of an imperial. Booze is well hidden.
