Description
At Hop City, we create beer that inspires the curious, and fuels the restless.
We embrace the journey as much as you do. We take risks, make wrong turns, and just go for it.
For us, it’s about believing in curiosity. Because even though it may have killed the cat, before he died, that cat probably had a pretty good time.

Can from the LCBO. Cloudy deep orange amber pour with a one finger off white head that fades slowly and leaves a bit of lace. Nose is grass, pine resin, roasted nuts and toffee. Sweet caramel start with a light to medium bitter middle of citrus and pine becoming more bitter through the finish but not as much as the nose promised. Medium slick mouth with average carbonation.

16 oz can from the liquor store in Charlottetown. Slightly hazy light gold color with a decent sized tightly bubbled white head that persists for a while. Aromas of citrus and earth with some bread, caramel and a bit of mineral and metal. The flavor is huge citrus with bits of caramel and lots of mineral water and bready with slight metallic twang. Medium to light body with a moderate level of carbonation. Easy enough to drink and technically nothing horrible here, but the mouthfeel is kind of thin and watery with a pretty boring flavor profile. This might be a decent gateway beer, but if I was trying to convert the masses I’d make them a bit more interested or shocked.

Pours a clear deep amber colour with a big frothy warm cap, great retention and full foamy lace. Great aromas of hops with fresh grass, pine notes and citrus zest. The taste is not as strong, with some mild fruity zest and some very light grain. A little bitterness and some hints of rusty water in the mouth. This is what takes points away from this brew. Other than that, nice to see this brewery do a stronger IPA and available in cans. Quite drinkable.

Can: Poured a golden color ale with a generous head with good retention and some OK lacing. Aroma consists of citrus notes with light floral notes. Taste is also dominated by citrus notes with loads of floral notes and a lightly sweet malt backbone. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not bad bit hops could be even more explosive with a little bit less residual sugars.

Can from the LCBO. Cloudy pale yellow with a one finger white head that quickly disappears leaving a sheet. Aroma of wheat, bananas, cloves and light lemon. Mildly sweet start with spice appearing later and dominant. Taste is much lighter than the nose. Mouth is light and thin with soft carbonation. Nice but not outstanding.
