Overall pretty clean, light golden colour with a white cap, long lasting with some creamy-foamy lace. Grassy hop aromas with hints of berries. These spicy hops found in some Pilsners are also present in the taste with again, the tad touch of berries. Reminds me of one of my favourite Polish beer, Leżajsk. A little more hopped up north American-style, but really... a nice lager that represents veterans and The Royal Canadian Legion. Cheers to them and all they have given us.

A hazed blonde wit with a thick frothy lacing white head. In aroma, herbaceous malt with light rhubarb, grassy hops, light mineral notes, so-so. In mouth, watery wit with fruity esters, light cloves, light mineral notes, milk notes, boring. On tap at Brewery Market Ottawa June 2017.

Keg at Cheshire Cat, Carp, Ottawa. Cloudy copper colour, mid sized head. Nice aroma of black currant and citrus. Mid sweet with medium body and clean mouthfeel. Burnt sugar and caramel hides behind a curtain of black currant. Really bitter finish.

This IPA poured a medium amber colour with a creamy off white head. Nice lacing. Scents include malt, caramel and hay. First swig was nice and creamy with flavours of hops and light caramel. Finish was medium bitter with nice malty flavours lingering. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap at the Loon. Pours a hazy amber colour with a warm creamy head and some thick lacing. Pale syrup aromas with fruity malts. Caramel malt taste with the fruitiness and some mild nuttiness. Not too sweet for a honey brew. More fruity, well-blended. Very nice.

Can from LCBO at parents’ in Ottawa. Ruby copper pour with minimal tan head. Aroma is spicier red malt with pine and apple hops. Taste is similar - more spicy crisp bitterness and warm malt. Tingling bitter/spiciness lasts on the finish. Not bad for this redder type of IPA, but not my preferred style.
