951 Collingwood Brewery Downhill Pale Ale Canada American Pale Ale 3.0

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

473ml can <br> 5.4% ABV <br> King/Spadina LCBO Outlet (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> November 30, 2015 <br> The beer pours a hazed golden red with a generous off-white bubbly cap that lasts a few minutes. The aroma is caramel, honey, grains, and weak citrus. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. While the honey is quite pronounced in the aroma, it is almost non-existant in the flavour. The flavour is dominated by caramel and grapefruit notes, and not really in a good way.

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

The aromas is rye, citrus, grains, and earthy notes. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, slightly creamy, with average carbonation. The flavour is spicy rye, grass, light citrus notes, and a sweet honey finish. I like the spicy rye flavours in rye beers, and while it is up front here, there isn't a lot of it.
