On tap at Junction Brewery TO. Hazy orange amber colour lasting cream head. Malty ipa. Some good hops though. Some English hedgerow and some American pine. Really rather good I thought. It's got the malt to carry the hops. I like the hop flavours and the bitterness. Good balance. Well made beer. Yes. Quite happy with this.

Can from the LCBO. Pours a dark brown, almost black colour with a tad of cola highlights. Big frothy mocha-coloured head, very long lasting with some nice lacing. Great freshly grinded coffee smell at first. Then some roasted malts eventually come out with later, some grassy hop notes. The taste has the roasted malts and coffee notes blended together with some decent dryness in the finish from the hops. This is quite a nice black lager with lots going on everywhere.

Rather heavy on the banana, esters and fruitiness. Overall a fairly likeable German wheat.

Keg at Ottawa Winter Brewfest. Disclaimer: This event used plastic cups, which may have prevented my ability to fully appreciate this beer. Dark brown, creamy head. Caramelly nose with nutmeg and licorice. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Toasty with licorice and spice. Long bitter finish. Nice!

Can from RCSS. Hazy medium copper with a lingering one finger off white head. Nose is light caramel with grassy and floral hop notes. Light sweet base for a moderate hop bitterness. Mouth is medium and creamy with a lingering light bitter finish and average carbonation. More of an English Pale Ale, but decent. 7/3+/7/3+/14+

Mouth is slightly thin and slick with soft carbonation and a lingering bitter finish that i wasn’t expecting. 7/3+/6+/3/14

Can from the LCBO. Clear pale gold under a large foamy lingering white head that leaves lots of lace. Nose is Grain and some green fruit with light floral and grassy notes. Flavour is light sweet apple and pear with an equivalent light bitterness and a subtle spice. Mouth is medium- with average carbonation and a lingering dry lightly bitter finish. Quite surprised by this one. 8-/3+/7/3+/14+
