Description
A farm brewery in Caledon, Ontario. Troy Baxter, Mike Nuttall and Grace Wilkinson make hoppy, hazy ales in small batches that sell out as fast as they can make them. We specialize in IPA, but we also have a deep affinity for farmhouse ales, crispy lagers and mixed fermentation sours.

We used to brew on a small, inefficient 100ish liter brew house in an old retrofitted calf barn. It was a lot of work, but it's all we could afford to get this thing started without investors. Now we mostly brew on a bigger, sort of more efficient brewery.

Since day one we have believed in the same fundamentals: quality and freshness above all else. Our mission is to get our beer to your mouth when it's at it's best!

Can. Color: Milky pale orange, white head. Aroma: Citrus fruit (orange, hints of lemon), hoppy. Taste: Dense and very smooth mouthfeel, hoppy with a firm malty base, fruity orange. Reminds me of Split (orange and vanille icecream) Over moderate to medium sweet, moderate bitterness. Over medium body, average carbonation.

Tastes a bit like plastic, smells of vinyl, bitter, fairly harsh. Vague notes of citrus fruit. Not a big fan of that.

Bottleshare at CBJ. Thanks to Bearded for the can. A mild haze on this yellow beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Fluffy light pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Plenty of hop spice but curiously not that much hop fruits, just very light citrus, orange and mandarin. Light hop spicy finish. Ninja hop spice. WTF?

Can from Left Field Beer, shared at CBJ Tasting. Hazy very pale gold. Thin foamy white head. Aroma has sweet sugared fruit and sour edge. Flavourwise it's more bitter with a sour edge over chewy savoury porridge. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Slightly chalky. Flat carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Decent.
