    The beer pours a hazed light golden brown with a generous white head. The aroma is honey, funk, yeast, and grains. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is slightly sweet to start with notes of honey, and finishes with a spicy bitterness and the yeast. A pretty good effort.

    The beer pours a light golden copper colour, translucent, with a white head. Aroma is light fruits, weak caramel, and citrusy hops. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavour is very grainy with some hop bitterness. Not my favourite IPA despite being one of the standard bearers of the style

    The beer was poured a solid reddish-brown with a thin white cap that lasted. The aroma was yeast, roasted malt, dark fruit, and caramel. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was bitter chocolate, yeast, and weak caramel. Quite good.

    500ml bottle
    6.5% ABV
    Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada)
    December 10, 2013
    Part of a Morland Christmas 4-pack at the LCBO. The beer pours a slightly translucent caramel colour with a generous light tan coloured cap cap that slowly disappears into a thin film. The aroma is grainy, sweet malt, and toffee. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly creamy and with average carbonation. Everything about this beer is similar to the Hen's tooth I had for lunch with the flavouring except the alcohol is more noticeable in the flavour of this one, and the colour is more red. Still quite good, but not as good as a Hen's Tooth.

    Part of a Morland Christmas 4-pack at the LCBO. The beer pours a slightly hazed caramel colour with a quarter inch tan coloured cap cap that slowly disappears into a thin film. The aroma is grainy, sweet malt, and toffee. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly creamy and with average carbonation. Flavour is on the sweet side with notes of toffee and bread. THis could be quite sessionable for a 6.5% beer.
