The aroma is bready malt, citrus, yeast, and weak perfumy hops. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is nicely balanced between the grains and the fruitiness of the hops with a little bit of a hop bite to finish it all off.

179 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.

182 Orange Snail Brewers Iron Pig Canada American Pale Ale 3.1

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

The beer pours a slightly hazed golden colour with a bubbly white cap that recedes within a couple of minutes to thin layer of lacing. The aroma is light hops, malt, and yeast. There is a macro feel to the aroma. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is interesting as it is quite malty with the yeast notes showing through more than the hop notes. I was hoping for better from my hometown brewer.

183 Cowbell Brewing Doc Perdue's Bobcat / Cowbell Brewing Bobcat Canada American Pale Ale 3.2

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

473ml can <br> 5.% ABV <br> Milton LCBO Outlet #1 (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> August 15, 2017 <br> The beer pours a translucent cherry red colour with a big bubbly tan coloured cap which slowly recedes to a thin lacing. The aroma is very hop forward with citrusy grapefruit notes dominating the caramel. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly creamy (Cowbell seems to like creaminess in the feel) with average carbonation. The flavour is a miss as I get a Nestea Ice Tea flavour from the beer. Citrusy hops and sweet malt are both present, but neither really dominate the flavour and all I can taste is Nestea flavours.

473ml can <br> 4.6% ABV <br> Main/Thompson LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> September 7, 2017 <br> $2.95<br> The beer pours a slightly hazed translucent gold colour with a fluffy white head which quickly backs down to being a thin film. The aroma is grainy malts, weak hops, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is biscuit malt, and weak non-descript hops. There is nothing bad about this beer, but at the same time there is nothing about this beer that stands out.

185 Pint Pursuits Lord Of Lupulin Pale Ale Canada American Pale Ale 3.2

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

473ml can <br> 5.4% ABV <br> Main/Bronte LCBO Outlet (Milton, Ontario, Canada) <br> September 7, 2017 <br> $2.95<br> The beer pours a hazed golden red with a generous white head that lingers a while and plenty of effervescence in the glass. The aroma is grapefruit, pine, light caramel, and yeast. The aroma is quite boring to be honest. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with slightly above average carbonation. The flavour is decently hop forward with the citrusy hops in front, the malt is more biscuity in the flavour. There is a dishsoap note in the finish which takes away from the hops.

The ‘islands’ last awhile. The aroma is tropical fruit, weak caramel, and some biscuit malt tones. The mouthfeel is medium bodies, while carbonation is high. The flavour is very acidic with definite notes of grains and tropical fruit, and with a hint of saltiness. Very weird for the style.
