Nutty, roasty, light caramels, brown sugar. Low bitterness, medium mouth feel. Nice cereals, light hops, hints of pine, and brown sugar.

Very pithy, highly bitter, huge orange juice and pithy notes. Sharp, dry, and very butter.

The only can from their Special Edition IPA Fun Box 6-pack I have not tried yet. A hazy golden colour with an amber hue, a big frothy white cap, good retention and some foamy lacing spots-streaks left. An interesting nose with the Comet and Eclipse hops. Yes, getting some citrus (grapefruit, mandarine) notes, but also some dank "American Wild" touch. A tad resinous as well. This continues into the taste. The mouthfeel is wet, a little on the thin side, drying-fading out a bit in the end. Not a bad Hazy IPA, with a special touch to it, that gets better as you go. From The Beer Store in Ottawa.

Malt, brown sugar and ground nuts on the nose. A big, pillowy tan head with sticky lacing. A solid if unspectacular take on the nut brown ale. Smooth slightly roasted malt, a touch of cream, ground nuts, some field berries.

Pillowy well laced tan head on a deep brown/black body. The nose features well roasted coffee, cream and semi-sweet chocolate. Lots of fresh elements here. I’m a big fan. unsweetened chocolate and bitter coffee and hops are fresh elements. Toffee, butter, dark berries and touches of vanilla, almond extract and wood add interesting layers. Not overly thick for an imperial, but not thin either. Really tasty.

A dense, well laced off-white head on an unfiltered orange/amber body. Nice fresh citrus rind nose with sweet malt. The rindy citrus hops extend to the taste profile, led by grapefruit with lemon. Rich caramel malt, a touch of toffee, and pepper round out a sold DIPA. Good slightly slick mouth feel and medium density. The bitterness in the aftertaste gets a bit nasty over time, but a very solid effort.

The nose is sweet malt and bubble gum. A bubbly off-white head over an unfiltered looking gold body. The taste experience starts with a healthy splash of grapefruit. Sweet malt underpins the initial fruity blast - not really bitter but fruity nonetheless. There are touches of lemon and mango. The fruit dissipates into something less pleasant pretty quickly and the bubble gum from the nose lingers. Not buying this one again.

Fairly clean, with just a bunch of really tiny transparent particles floating around. Amber colour with golden highlights, a frothy-creamy whitish cap, good stay and some thicker foamy-creamy lacing. Nutmeg aromas with a tad cinnamon, and some pumpkin purée base. A little thicker mouthfeel, but some decent grassy bitterness in the finish, that does cut the thickness. The spices blend really nicely with this. A very nice Pumpkin Ale with good spiciness, pumpkin notes and some good bitter-dryness from the hops.

Part of their 10th Edition - IPA Fun Box, pouring a fairly clean, with a tad transparent particles floating around. Light golden-yellow colour with a frothy white cap, good stay and foamy lacing. A nice mild spicy-herbal nose with the maltiness in the background. This continues into the taste with the malty-cereal base and good hoppy dryness with their grassy-herb touch. An nice easy lager with a good blend of IPA hoppiness.

Can from their 10th Edition IPA Fun Box. Hazy, golden colour with an amber colour with a big frothy white cap, good retention and foamy-soapy lacing. Big fruity nose with peaches, mangoes - so lots of stone fruits. Eventually, getting some hints of vanilla. The taste is a touch milder with the fruits and very light bitterness, and dryness. A good juicy, wet, not too thick NEIPA that has good drinkability.
