The beer pours a solid black colour with a medium brown coloured head that lingers. The aroma is roasted malt, dark chocolate, and a hint of yeast. The mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with some chalkiness, and the carbonation is average. The flavour is sweet chocolate milk, bitter coffee, and some roastiness that lingers.Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6

The beer pours a hazed yello gold colour with a thin off-white head. The aroma is a little funky with grains, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour is earthy with a definite saltiness rounded out by spices and yeast. Not a fan of the style but this was palatable.Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

The beer pours a slightly hazed honey gold colour with a very thin white ring for a cap. The aroma is apricots, grains, and a funky yeasty note. The mouthfeel was light to medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was apricot and grass, with a hint of tartness.

The beer pours a translucent shimmering medium gold colour with a generous bubbly white head which lasts less than 10 seconds. The aroma is cereal malt and a hint of earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a slight lactose sweetness associated with Canadian 'stock' ales, with hints of hops in the mix. I would definitely try this again as a cheap flavourful go-to lager.Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

The beer pours a hazy pale yellow with a thin white cap. The aroma was very weak and almost non-existent. There was a weak whiff of citrus, and some malty notes. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was only slightly stronger than the aroma with hints of weak lemon and grass. A miss for Indie Ale House in my opinion.Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8
