    Toronto's 1st annual Beer Week. The beer poured a solid golden orange with a small creamy thin tan coloured head. The aroma was citrusy hops, sweet malt, and oak. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with medium carbonation. The flavour was citrusy hops, chewy biscuit malt, and a hint of caramel. A very well balanced IIPA.

    $5.75
    Billed as Toronto's 1st Annual Beer Week
    The beer was translucent gold with orange hues and a white foamy head. The aroma was grainy malt, some floral hops, and a hint of yeastiness. The mouthfeel was weak to medium bodied, with medium carbonatoin. The flavour was watered down malt, and detracted from the looks and aroma of this beer. The finish was bitter, but not so much hoppy.

    The beer poured a murky golden orange colour with a foamy tan coloured head that stuck to the sides of the glass. The aroma was pine, citrus, grapefruit, and some butterscotch. The mouthfeel was medium to full bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was bitter grapefruit, some grain, and slight sweetness. A very enjoyable beer.
