This IPA poured a cloudy, light amber colour with a creamy, off white head. Nice lacing. Scents include perfume, Marmite and floral hops. First swig was not even close to how hoppy I figured it was going to be. Flavours of citrus, hops and a light wiener. Finish is grassy with light wieners and minimal bitterness lingering.

This porter poured a deep black colour with a huge, brown head. Beautiful lacing. Scents include coffee, cocoa and smoke. First swig was a little thin but delicious. Flavours of caramel, coffee and a little cocoa. Not overly hoppy nor bitter but not sweet either. Finish is smoked coffee that lingers.

This ale poured a nice amber colour with a creamy, white head. Nice lacing. Scents include dough, caramel and cereal. First swig was really nice. Smooth and somewhat creamy with flavours of honey, cereal and a musty flavour. Finish is malty with a light honey must that lingers. Reminds me a lot of their other ale called the Lazy Fox.

This brown ale poured a deep amber colour with a creamy tan head. Nice lacing. Scents include caramel, dough and brown sugar. Plus one other one I can’t put my finger on... First swig was quite thin with flavours of toasted malt, caramel and mild coffee. Finish is toasty with a basement flavour that lingers.

Can from the LCBO. Cloudy medium amber under a generous, long lasting off white head leaving patchy lace. Prominent floral nose with some caramel malt, pineapple, and lemon peel. Flavour is lightly sweet bubblegum with a medium- grassy bitterness but not quite living up to the promise of the nose. Mouth is medium- with average carbonation and a chewy finish. 7+/4/6/3/14-
