Single bottle from the LCBO. Pours a clean amber colour, deeper than average with a frothy warm cap, great retention and thick-creamy lacing. Hoppy nose with the grass, over cereal grains, butterscotch and orange notes. The taste is similar with the sweetness of caramel and the decent bitterness from the hop. A grainy background. Seems like an alright British-style session brew, but their seems to be these hints of adjuncts (plastic, sourness) messing things up.

500ml Bottle from the LCBO. Pours a clear deep orange with a small off white head that clings to the glass. Nose is light citrus and bread. Quite sweet to start with an orange/tangerine tang and a quite modest bitterness at the back end. Flavour is quite subdued and delicate. Medium slick mouthfeel with lively carbonation.

Certainly not an LA pale ale if west coast pale is what we mean here. Some bitterness in finish but mostly malt heavy. Pours orange with ok head and lacing. Soft carbonation. On tap at C’est What Craft Beer Festival.

Tastes like random ginger. Slightly clear orange pour without much head or lacing. Watery consistency and palate. Some malt as well. Like watered down Canada Dry but not as sweet or tasty. C’est What Festival.

Way too much espresso on the nose here and not enough beer in the whole affair. Pours black with creamy mocha head and great lacing. Really not many porter characteristics. Light sour finish with some bitterness. C’est What Festival.

A little closer to a pale ale than an IPA. Pours golden clear with carpet lacing and head on cask. Has some hoppy bitterness, though the hops don’t really leave much other than the bitterness. Texture a little watery. Soft carbonation. Cask at Bar Hop.
