Description
Calling West Toronto's Junction neighbourhood home, founders Tom Paterson and Doug Pengelly started Junction Craft Brewery (JCB) in 2011 with a mission to create the highest-quality, hand-crafted beers. Since that time the brewery has grown and expanded its product offering adding great new styles and brands available across the province.
In 2018 the business moved to its current home located in a former City of Toronto 1930's art-deco incinerator, affectionately known as 'The Destructor". Decommissioned in the 80's, used for raves in the 90's and beautifully restored in 2018, the award winning heritage building is the perfect spot to enjoy a part of Toronto's past, hangout in our intimate yet spacious taproom, grab a brewery tour and of course sample great, fresh beer.
In 2019 JCB continued its expansion adding St. Mary Axe and socially responsible beer brand Caribru to its family of products.

Bottle - Citrus, lemon, fruity and lots of yeast profile. Cloudy orange with a rich bubbly head. Lemon and yeasty, almost saison like. Belgian style IPA? Different but decent.

Bottle - Roasted malts and chocolate/coffee. Very dark amber with a rich brown head. Chocolate and coffee dominate with a nice hit of bitterness in the finish. Much like a porter.

Can: Poured an amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light citrus hoppy notes with some light caramelized malt notes. Taste is also dominated by citrus hoppy notes with some well-balanced dry Noble hops backed with a solid caramelized malt profile with limited residual sugar. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. I must admit I didnβt have high expectation but was pleasantly surprised by this mix of West Coast and Noble hops.

This ale poured a deep amber colour with a minimal , light tan coloured head. Scents include citrus hops, pineapple and grass. First sip was smooth with a medium hop bite. Flavours of the citrus hops and grass most predominant. Finish is medium bitter with lemon flavours lingering.
