About
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!

7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8
(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours moderately cloudy deep gold with a thick stable white head and good lace. Aroma is not terribly juicy and extremely floral, lots of fresh-cut grass and softly pefumed petals, zest of yellow citrus and some dank but unripe pineapple, maybe a little papaya in there. Flavour is also quite floral upfront, sweet clean malts and a little grapefruit candy, touches of unripe tangerine, a lot of crusehd flower petals and some grass, again dank and funky but unripe pineapple and some papaya in the middle of the sip (which is rather crisp), before finishing off-dry with some resiudal sugar/brioche and light to moderate floral, grassy bitterness with a yellow citrus zest aftertaste. Mineral-adjacent but not fully crisp with some astringency in the aftertaste. Light body, moderate fairly creamy carbonation. A very drinkable beer for some reason but not particularly deep or rich, not a huge fan of the cold dry hopping from Badlands though this avoids the levels of astringency that the May DIPA had while also being a lot lighter in flavour.

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours opaque medium yellow with a thick stable white head and lace. Aroma is surprisingly bright and floral, lots of candied yellow citrus and perfumed flowers, some pineapple candy as well, overtones of a sweet sativa, some doughy malt. Flavour follows the high bright and floral map, again lots of candied lemons and limes, touches of sweet peach, fresh flowers and grass, a bit more of a candy and light dough vibe, really oily hop feel from the colder DH, not resinous per se for me but more citrus, with a little slightly astringent flower petal and grass vibe popping up later in the sip (but no real burn). Finish is off-dry, lemon candy and flowers, again a little astringent floral leafiness that resolves into moderate bitterness in the aftertaste. Light to medium-bodied, oily to creamy, soft carbonation. Interesting results of the cold dry hopping, with the bright initial profile favourable but the aftertaste less so. Solid DIPA for sure, but Mind Prism showcased Galaxy a lot better.

8.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 9
(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours opaque deep yellow with a thick white head and a little lace. Aroma of pink grapefruit, pineapple, floral oranges, some sweeter mixed tropicals, nice light coating of dank wet hop cones, some hints of cut grass and clearly present biscuity malt. Flavour is very much in line with the nose, crisp aromatic grapefruit and floral orange peels are dominant, backing of floral tropical fruit and a little pineapple, lightly to moderately sweet and very juicy, with nice supporting bready biscuit malt and a bit of dank leafy weed in there. Finish is bone dry, huge notes of aromatic peppery orange and grapefruit peels, tiniest hop tingle, dry and smooth with a faint but balanced chalkiness. Medium bodied, smooth creamy carbonation, feels much like a Badlands IPA honestly. The hop saturation here is awesome and I would like APAs a whole heck of a lot more if they tasted and smelled like this.

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours very hazy medium gold with a thick white head and good lace. Aroma of candied pineapple, creamy coconut milk, orange and grapefruit peels, some sweet pulpy orange hits, soft herbal/dank hop cone overtone. Flavour is semi-sweet up front, ripe and candied pineapple, orange, bitter aromatic citrus peels, smooth fresh coconut creaminess, some lightly dank/catty peppery edges, malt body is soft cereals just poking through, smooth yeast character. Drying finish, lightly to moderately bitter, citrus peels and funky pineapple, slight peppery bite that's smoothed by milky coconut. Light to medium bodied, soft carb, that Badlands creaminess still mostly intact. A really nice APA, honestly one of the best I've had in a while, good hop saturation and balance. Would still be fine with a % more ABV and attendent perks.

8.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 9.5
(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours near-opaque medium yellow with a decent white head and lots of lace. Aroma of nice sweet floral mangoes, mandarins, fresh flowers, some hints at lychee/rambutan floral 'red' fruit, berry-adjacent, a little weed, smooth lighty bready malt. Flavour is semi-sweet, tangerine, grapefruit, lychee, papaya, touch of mandarin orange fruitiness and maybe a little peach, floral tropical resins and crushed perfume flowers, softly bready cereals, drying floral and citrus bitters into the finish, lightly bitter, touch mineral. Light to medium body, oily to creamy, moderate carb that ups the tingles a little bit, hint of alcohol warmth. Provocative is one of my fave Badlands and this tastes like a slightly more potent big brother; would be interested to see this get the more saturated treatment of some of the latest DIPAs from them though.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8
(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours opaque milky pale yellow with a thick white head and good retention/lace. Aroma is tangerine and orange peels, orange and grapefruit bitters, some sweeter candied oranges too, funky dank pineapple Galaxy/VS quality to offset the Amarillo. Flavour is rather dry and not super-juicy for Badlands, orange peel and orange bitters dominate, leafy ground hop cone dankness, some residual orange and peach sweetness, slightly peppery resins, retiring malt with less breadiness than normally shows up in a Badlands beer. Finish is dry, light to moderate bitterness, tingling citrus bitters and underripe pineapple, slight hint of chalkiness. Medium-bodied, very creamy carbonation. Not the juiciest Badlands by a long shot and I could see it being really hot without the month of age I put on it, but not as rough in the finish as GMA.

8.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 9
(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours opaque dark yellow with a thick white head and some lace. Aroma of juicy tangerine, orange creamsicles, very fruity cannabis, some hits of berries . Flavour of brightly floral citrus (tangerine, creamiscle orange, pink grapefruit, some exotic vibes), red berries (I get raspberry), smooth creamy hits from Sabro but not intensely coconut, soft herbal accents, smooth barely bready malt with some light residual sweetness, touch of minerality, low bitterness and pink grapefruit and herb aftertaste. Medium-full body, a bit rounder than the typical Badlands if perhaps not as creamy, soft to moderate carbonation. One of the best of the recent Badlands brews, I think this hop profile nailed it.

(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours opaque milky yellow with a decent white head and good lace. Aroma of bright yellow citrus (grapefruit, lemon etc), melon, some floral perfume, earthy berries, resins.Flavour of mixed aromatic citrus zests, dried flowers, some candied pale tropical fruit (melon/papaya but not super juicy fresh), lots of weed and pine resins, some tannic earthy blueberry, soft breadiness to the malt, mid-sweet at best finishing dry and somewhat bitter with floral resins long into the aftertaste and a kiss of hop burn. Light to medium body, creamy mouthfeel, soft carb. Another nice Badlands IPA on the danker side of things, good resins but not excessively hot. I would be interested to try more of the exp hop but Mosaic was surely a good partner for it.

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours opaque medium yellow with a small white head and no lace. Aroma couples clearly dank, weed-inflected hops with bright yellow citrus peels and a little pulp, leafy and a touch green with a little bready softly sweet malt backbone. Flavour of mixed pale citrus like lemon, white grapefruit and tangerine, some soft floral fruit like melon, more zesty than juicy though there's some grapefruit pulp, quite ample dankness and leafy piney greenness, vaguely peppery vibes in the middle to the end of the sip, lingering grapefruit-side fruitiness in the drying finish with low to moderate bitterness and a little resinous tingle but no insane burn (especially compared to the IPAs from early April). Medium bodied, oily, softly carbonated, no real booze. Nice stuff, not the juice/dank combo I expected from these hops but seems to be a character of 2020 Citra so far. Tasty stuff.

8.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
(473ml can c/o Luc, thanks!) Pours opaque milky gold with a thick white head and nice lace. Aroma of papaya, tangerine, moderate yellow mango, slightly dank cannabis and leafy conifers (Columbus!). Flavour is lightly sweet with a bit of a citric twang, again some nice papaya and mango up front, white grapefruit and lemon peels, floral cannabis, lightly peppery pine needles, smooth almost oaty malt feel, low residual sweetness. Drying finish has nice peppery conifers, soft weed and citrus peels with a floral undertone and low bitterness. Medium-bodied, slightly high carb but signature creamy Badlands feel. A nice new/old school hybrid with an undoubted NE feel but low residual sugar vibes and Columbus greens.
