Had this at the Regina Festiv-Ale Jan 31st. 4 oz sampler.

Orange-amber in colour with an off-white/beige head.

Interesting aroma. I'm picking up tropical fruits, particularly passion fruit.

Flavour is much the same as the aroma. Malt backbone stays in the background and is pretty subtle. This beer is about the hops, but with only one hop it lacks complexity.

Not a great IPA, but the hops series will do in a pinch.

The beer pours a translucent orange red colour with a half inch thick tan coloured head, and very little effervescence. The aroma is tropical fruit/papaya and caramel. Mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with below average carbonation. Flavour is papaya/pineapple and some grains with a hint of caramel. I was expecting more tropical juiciness, which may have been a reach for a macro brewer

Blonde in color, a little cloudy with a really small white head and some carbonation. Bready smell, some malt and yeast but I don't get the fruity smell others have found. Tastes more fruity than what I smelled, still some bread notes, a little spices (peppery mostly) is there too and an aftertaste of hard water. A little bit bitter but not enough to be an IPA.

The look of it: Amber with 1 finger of head with medium carbonation


The smell of it; Very surprised. Some orange and some peach comes to my nose. Very fruity smell. Really did enjoy the smell.


The taste of it: A bit disappointed compared to the smell but still much better than the cascade. You still have that orange and that peach taste like the smell. I really did enjoy that beer.


So overall would I recommend it ? For sure, this is a well made beer, much better than the Alexander Keith Cascade.

Nothing to get too excited about, but not a bad ale from a commercial brewery.

i go up to montreal at least four times a year to visit family and friends and keith's is always my go to beer up there. Obviously not craft by any means but for drinkability and a nostalgia taste for me its the best!

Date code is G11H410055 which means it was canned July 11, 2014.

Light orange hazy body. Full head rests at 2 fingers. Tropical fruit in the nose but sadly this does not carry through in the flavor as a malty cardboard taste is present. I do catch glimpses of tropical fruit but it`s a fail for me though it`s miles better than their ``IPA``.
