330ml bottle &#60;br&#62; 5.60&#37; ABV &#60;br&#62; Best Before: November 20, 2019&#60;br&#62; LCBO # 255 &#40;Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main &#47; Bronte&#41; &#60;br&#62; November &#60;br&#62; &#36;2.66&#60;br&#62; Part of the 2018 Belhaven Craft Christmas 6-Pack. This clearly a British style IPA with the emphasis on ‘clearly’ as there isn’t a speck of haze in the glass. The beer pours a translucent metallic gold colour with a thin white film for a head. Swirling the beer for a few seconds generates a 1” foamy off-white head. The aroma is grainy malt, some musty hops and some floral hops, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is grainy malt up front, some acidic tones, and a bitter citrusy hop finish. Hard to detect the citrus in the aroma but it is definitely there on the palate.
