Mango, tangerine and grapefruit are part of a rather complex olfactory featuring American hops on a malty base with biscuit aromas. The liquid is golden and clear with a good amount of bubbles. The foam is abundant, well-formed and quite tenacious. Taste is slightly fruity with a good effervescence and a strong bitterness as finish. Alcohol is present without being too aggressive. The fruitiness is much more discreet than in olfactory and the malty base is for my taste a little too discreet. The emphasis is mainly on the very high resinous bitterness that persists for long seconds. I do not have much to complain about this West Coast. It is very nice, well brewed and fairly balanced. It only lacks a small enhancement of the malted side. The small difference between excellent and very good. Mangue, mandarine et pamplemousse font partie d’un olfactif assez complexe mettant en vedette des houblons bien Américains sur une base maltée aux arômes de biscuit. Le liquide est doré et limpide avec une bonne quantité de bulles. La mousse est abondante, bien formée et assez tenace. En bouche, c’est légèrement fruité avec une bonne effervescence et une amertume bien tranchée en finale. L’alcool est présent sans être trop agressif. Le fruité est beaucoup plus discret qu’en olfactif et la base maltée est à mon gout un peu trop discrète. L’accent est mis surtout sur la très haute amertume résineuse qui persiste en arrière-bouche pendant de longues secondes. Je n’ai pas beaucoup à redire de cette West Coast. Elle est très agréable, bien brassée et assez équilibrée. Elle manque seulement un petit rehaussement du côté malté. La petite différence entre excellente et très bonne.

Second Overflow of the night. Can that pours a very lightly hazed golden colour with a tad amber hue. The head is frothy, a little creamy with good retention, slightly warm off-white and leaving some nice creamy waves on the glass. Hoppy nose of grass and citrus over cereal grain and mild caramel malts. The mouthfeel is slick, lightly oily with a good dryness in the finish. The flavours are bitter with grassiness and citrus peel. Quite a decent normal IPA.

Oh yes, I do like this light ale. Biscuit malt with Pilsner malt light spiciness. Yep, this is a taste I really can enjoy for this style of beer. Aromas of mild spicy notes over the cereal grains. Gets slightly hazy, pale yellow colour with a frothy white cap, average stay and a little lacing. Kind of a light Steam Whistle, but on the ale side of things. I like.

Slightly hazy golden-amber colour with a big frothy warm cap, good retention and beautiful creamy-foamy lacing. Very citrusy aromas of oranges, grapefruits with the hops, and fairly juicy overall. The bitterness kicks in the flavours, with grapefruit zest that lingers on the tongue. A nice juicy base balances things. The mouthfeel is dry enough, but still refreshing. Quite a nice North-East Pale Ale, for those who like the juiciness, but not the excessive bitterness of an IPA. Well done.

Enjoyed at the Hintonburg Public House on tap. Very dark brown colour with no highlights, a mocha coloured and feel head with good stay and thick lacing. Great fresh roasted malts scent with lots of coffee notes. The taste is much of the same with the roasted malt taking over the coffee. Hints of dark fruits lingers. The mouthfeel is crisp with a nice dryness that builds up gradually. A decent easy drinking dry porter and a good first experience with this local brewery.
