Can: Poured a deep clear golden color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of fresh citrus Cascade hops with light floral Fuggles hops notes is quite enticing. Taste is dominated by a lightly sweet malt backbone with limited hops presence which doesn’t seems to have translated from the aroma to the taste. Body is about average with good carbonation. The aroma was promising but it actually didn’t translate in the taste profile with weird greasy hops notes coming through.

Copper with a large white head. Aroma is lightly toasted malts, lightly sweet. Flavor is light sweet malts, toasty, a bit of earthy hops. Medium bodied. Easy going lager- would go a few rounds with this.

Single can from the LCBO, under "Big Mouth Pale Ale". Pours a slightly hazy golden colour with a huge white frothy head that stays very, very long and gives out lots of lace. Floral hop nose with some fruit notes (orange, citrus). Mildly creamy mouthfeel because of the big head. Very light hop in the taste, but it is there. Grain malt finish, with what seems like a little roasted-burnt malt lingering in the background. Again, hints of fruits. Not a bad Pale Ale that is easy to drink, but no where near real ones.

Canette 473ml. De couleur ambrée et claire. Nez de grains de malt sucrés, moyen de caramel aux petites notes terreuses, léger de houblon herbeux avec de faibles notes fruitées (agrumes). Moyenne-mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture légèrement crémeuse et aux petites notes huileuses. Petites notes fruitées (agrumes) et accompagné de grains de malt sucrés lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de caramel aux faibles notes terreuses ainsi que des petites notes de biscuits au beurre et des traces de sucre blanc puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux. Post-goût moyen-court, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux.

New selection at my local beer store, from a bottle. Fairly smooth lager aroma bordering on old lager. Look is fairly pale lager. More personality compared to a pale lager. Has some fruitiness inthe background. A little slag on the palate and a good amount of co2. Goes down fairly easy but there is a little bit of mild bitterness building on the tongue during the session. Yes, personality continues to build as you drink. Finishes with a mild medicinal feel. Would like to try this on tap. I have tasted more mannered viennas.

Buckets, Jenkintown 12oz ($4.25): Pours an amber color with a small head. Aroma is faint caramel malt. Taste is faint anything. This was not any worse or better than the Yuengling I drank right before it.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright caramel-amber color with a large foamy orange-tan head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was skunky, tangy and somewhat sweet. The flavor was bitter and tangy with faint caramel, vague fruits and cardboard. Turns dry on the short cardboard finish. Medium body. Fairly awful.

Location: 12 oz bottle from State Line, 11/4/12
Aroma: The nose is fairly light, some toasted lager malts, and caramel notes
Appearance: This one pours a clear caramel orange color with some spotty lacing
Flavor: The taste is clean and malty, not overly sweet, and has barley a hint of a hop presence
Palate: The body is fairly light, it drinks clean, has an average carbonation, and a short duration
Overall Impression: My first rating from Hop City. (I didn't even realize I was buying Canadian, just assumed it was an American Micro I'd never heard of.) Anyway, it isn't a bad beer, but I wasn't super impressed either. Decent lager, but that's about it. Eh...
