A light golden body topped by a solid white head. The nose pops with fresh citrus and grapefruit with a faint hint of sweet malt. A solid bitterness leads the taste profile with elements of pine, resin, grapefruit, grapefruit rind and lemon. The sweet bready malt is there but is subdued. A soapy taste builds as the taste lingers. A lively medium-plus carbonation and medium body and density help appreciation of the taste. A nice addition to the tank 10 series.

A thin white head on a dense, unfiltered golden body. A punchy, fresh grapefruit nose. This is a classic big west coast DIPA. Fruity and bitter hops feature grapefruit, fruit rind, pineapple and a splash of orange. Fresh and juicy, supported by clean, sweet malt with a solid body.

Great Lakes strikes again with another quality offering in their Tank 10 series. The nose is dank hops with some lighter fruity elements and a hint of yeast. Colour is a tan/grapefruit juice hybrid. The Belgian yeast and hops come out in a really nice balance. The yeastiness is clean and a bit peppery while the hops are juicy and fresh with lemon, grapefruit and tropical elements. A bready malt underpins this really nicely and a nice mid-range effervescence punches up the taste and leads to a nice fresh finish. Belgian IPAs are not my favourite style, but this one is winning me over.

A bit of a fizzy, thin white head on an unexpectedly light and transparent ginger ale-like body. The nose features brown sugar, cloves and nutmeg. A very nice pumpkin ale, with enough pumpkin, cloves and nutmeg to easily earn the name. The malt is bready on one level, but I do taste some seasonal pie crust as well! A hint of citrus hops livens up the taste profile. Light bodied but very flavourful. Nice balances. A great beer at the price!

Murky Red/brown pour with a significant off-white head. Nose is citrus hops with soft malt undertones. The name of this beer is a total misnomer. This is actually a tasty light session IPA or APA. Crisp, easy drinking ale with nice slightly soap and metallic (I’m guessing big C) hops. Love the 4.2 ABV!

Has a poignant citrus nose on a light golden body with a fairly thin white head. The \"big C\" hops deliver with fruity hops. Grapefruit is present, but not overpowering, backed up by a very juicy mixture of other citrus and tropical hop accents. A west-coast-IPA-style sweet bready malt effectively underpins this punchy IPA. A simple but very tasty beer.

Can from the LCBO. Hazy orange, large white head. Grapefruit, cereals, pine resin. Nice mouth feel, solid carb, medium bitter. Citrus finish, herbal notes, not bad, not great.

Can from the brewery. Whores a magenta, that's fairly clear ring of pink head, with active carbonation. Taste is fresh raspberries, with a slightly aserbic bite, with some funky socks. Active carbonation. A really vibrant, refreshing fruit. Exceptionally well done.
Light blonde, with a little haze. Taste is dry hay malt, apricots, a little esters, and a mild bitterness on the finish. Decent density and decently full for a 3.2. Good for a very light. Can from the brewery.

Can from the brewery. No idea what this one looks like, it stayed in the can, then jumped right into my mouth. The taste is a nice roasted malt, with nuts, a little bread. A mild bitterness on the finish. A little light, but it is an 3.7. I enjoyed it.
