With an abundance of hops and a sweet caramel backbone, this is a true session beer. A grassy, nutty and flavourful malt body is balanced by delicate citrus hops and a touch of spice. Clocking in at 34 IBUs, this beer is just bitter enough to keep the hopheads coming back without being crushingly dry or astringent. Designed to be enjoyed often!

473ml can purchased as a single from the LCBO booth at the Toronto Royal Winter Fair.

Poured into an imperial pint glass, formed a dense 1/2" light beige head over the slightly cloudy golden copper brew. Head recedes gradually, with sporadic lacing. Aroma is sedate, lightly citrus.

Taste starts medium sweet, citrus tart in the middle, biscuit and moderately bitter close. Mouthfeel is pretty smooth, and drinkability is good. I wouldn't kick this one to the curb.

Bright, bitter brew, hazy orange with a light head, lots and lots of lacing. Very punchy, some drying. Mild floral and lemon hop notes. Tasty and full.

Not bad, not great, not really a craft beer.
And in fact, this is the problem that I have with many Canadian breweries (I am sure other countries are the same but this is where I live) - they claim to be something that they are simply not. I am sure that they are trying hard, but in the end, the results seem to indicate otherwise.

definitely the best beer I've had from Kensington Brewing, not overly complex for a sessionable pale ale, but its not offensive at all, its a good gateway beer for people who aren't fond of pale ales.
