926 Junction Craft Engineer's IPA Canada IPA 2.9

Aroma: 5 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6

550ml draught <br> 6.2% ABV <br> C'est What? (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> October 24, 2014 <br> The beer pours a golden orange colour with absolutely no head. If I hadn't known better, I would have thought this was orange soda. The aroma is weak grains, and weak citrus. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, but almost no carbonation. The flavour had a nice grapefruit punch with some caramel and grains, but the beer was disappointing over all.
