MacKinnon Brothers Crosscut Canadian Ale

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Clean golden-amber colour with a white frothy cap, decent stay and a little foamy lacing, but mostly on the brew (not the glass). Malty-fruity nose with some cereal grains that do come out to shift to better, and then... a mild grassy-hop touch. The taste is malty as well, with some fruitiness and the hops that do cut the sweetness, richness in the finish. Easy-going, crisp Canadian Ale that is malty, fruity and lightly hoppy.

The beer pours a hazed medium gold colour with a very thin white film for a ring. Effervescence is active. The aroma is grainy malt, some light fruit notes, yeast, and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, crisp, with average carbonation. The flavour has more in common with a Nortgh American blonde ale than it does with either an English Pale Ale or an American pale Ale. Quite grainy with a slightly sweet start leading to a bitter finish. Aside from the grains and the hops, not a lot of complexity here.
