473ml can <br> 5.6% ABV <br> Canned On: January 15, 2019<br> LCBO #010 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Summerhill)<br> February 9, 2019<br> $3.00 <br> The beer pours a solid coca-cola colour when held up to a strong white light with a generous creamy light brown head which disappears quickly. The aroma is roasted malt, coffee, and vanilla with nary a whiff of coconut to be found. The mouthfeel is creamy, full bodied, and well carbonated. The flavour is sweeter than the aroma would indicate with notes of chocolate, molasses, and coconut balancing out the roasted malt and coffee flavours. Not a bad beer in the end.

473ml can <br> 5.60% ABV <br> LCBO #457 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Yonge / Eglinton)<br> March 18, 2019<br> $2.955<br> The beer pours a hazed golden orange colpour with a thin lace covering for a head. The aroma is orange, mango, and grass. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is similar to the aroma with a piney, bitter aftertaste. It’s a nice IPA, not as tropical as the trend has been, but not as citrusy as the 2000s decade.

16oz draught <br> 5.2% ABV<br> Granite Brewery and Tied House (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)<br> March 22, 2019<br> $8.50<br> The beer poured a translucent dark copper colour with a thin white ring for a head, which was short lived. The aroma was caramel, bread, yeast, and light citrus. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour was roasted malt, weak caramel notes, cereal malt, and light citrusy hop notes. The beer was decent, but the flavour was weaker than the aroma would have indicated.

473ml can <br> 10.2% ABV <br> Canned On: March 21, 2019 <br> LCBO # 255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte) <br> April 12, 2019 <br> $4.95<br> This is a chunky pour. The colour is medium gold, more murky than hazy, with a huge white head which recedes to a creamy film. The aroma is very peachy with notes of grass, light spices, and tropical fruits. The mouthfeel is full bodied with average carbonation. The first thing I taste is alcohol, followed by bitter citrus ring, grass, and finally the peaches come through in the finish. I want to like it, but the alcohol bitterness is hanging around too long.

473ml can <br> 4.8% ABV <br> Canned On: April 29, 2018 <br> LCBO #457 (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Yonge / Eglinton)<br> May 25, 2019 <br> $3.45<br> The beer was canned over a year ago….so who knows what to expect. It pours a very hazed orange gold with a thin creamy head which slowly recedes to a long lasting ring. The aroma is tart tropical citrus, grains, and funk. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with below average carbonation. The flavour is well balanced between the malted grains and the tart tropical fruit with the tartness lingering on the tongue for a while. Not bad for a year old gose, but I do wonder how it would have been if it was fresher.

The aroma is weak citrus, light caramel, some perfumey hops, and some grass. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is light caramel and citrus. Sweet up front, bitter in the end. A nice little IPA that takes me back to the first decade of the 21st century.

473ml can <br> 6.6% ABV <br> LCBO # 255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte) <br> June 10, 2019<br> $3.15<br> The beer pours a translucent light rust colour with a huge generous light tan coloured head which doesn’t last very long, nor does it lace very well. The aroma is caramel, some citrus peel, earthy hops, and a light spicy note. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, sticky, with average carbonation. The flavour is well balanced between the caramel malt sweetness, and citrus peel bitterness in the finish. I quite like the beer.

The aroma is dominated by tropical fruit (grapefruit and pineapple) with hints of grains, yeast, and spices. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is quite fruity. There are hints of grains and a light bitter finish, but the flavour is all about the fruity notes.

The cap thins out over time, but leaves a little lacing. The aroma is pumpkin and spice forward with a hint of roasted malt, coffee, and earthy hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a competition between the spices and the coffee for dominance, although I feel the coffee wins out in this one. The pumpkin flavour is present but not overpowering. The finish is both bitter and tangy. A good pumpkin beer.

The flavour is dominated by the tart citrus notes and the yeast, Nothing about this beer screams ‘IPA’ but it’s good nonetheless.
