    The beer poured a translucent red colour with an off-white head that laced well. The aroma was grains, citrus, and spices. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was dry, grainy, with a hint of citrusy bitterness. Quite drinkable.

    The first thing I notice about this beer is it's colour. Far and away the darkest IPA I've tried to date. Dark amber with a thin tan head. Aroma is pine and citrus with a hint of caramel. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavour is well balanced between sweet caramel malt, and citrusy hops, not quite grapefruit citrus.

    The beer pours a beautiful shimmering black with a creamy tan head. The aroma was coffee, roasted malt, chocolate milk and vanilla. The mouthfeel was full bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was milk chocolate, coffee, and nuts. Loved it!

    The beer poured a dark brown, almost black with a thin creamy tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, coffee, vanilla, licorice, and chocolate. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is bitter dark chocolate, some licorice, and coffee. Very enjoyable, but not sure it lives up to the hype.

    Part of a Wellington 4-Pack available at the LCBO. The beer pours a translucent golden red colour with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malt, caramel, and light fruits. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is toasted caramel, bread, and a weak hoppish finish.

    The Symposium (Milton, Ontario, Canada – 611 Holly Avenue)
    500ml draught
    5.5% ABV
    The beer poured a hazy copper colour with a creamy tan coloured head. The aroma was caramel malt, weak hops, and yeasty tones. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was sweet malt and weak citrusy hops. Not a memorable beer.

    The beer poured a slightly hazy gold colour with a thin white ring. The aroma was grainy malt...not very wheat like. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour has a little hint of wheat but aside from that tastes like most Canadian pale lagers....i.e. not very good. I hate to say it, but the Trailhead Lager tastes better.

    The beer poured a translucent dark gold with a generous fluffy white head which disappeared quickly. The aroma was metal, malt, and some hops. The mouthfeel is weak bodied, watery, and highly carbonated. The flavour is wet grass, some metal, and slightly bitter.

    The beer poured a translucent dark reddish brown with a creamy tan coloured head. The aroma was roasted malt, some nutty character, and some caramel with brown sugar. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carb carbonation. The flavour was malted nuttiness, with some hoppiness. Very similar to a lot of English Brown Ales.

    The poured a beautiful translucent rusty red colour with a thin white rocky head. The aroma is some roasted malt, with a hoppy background. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with ample carbonation. The flavour is malty with just a little hops. I was expecting a more hoppish flavour profile.
