Express pours a golden straw colour with white lacing. Complex hop aromas of citrus, tropical fruits and pine fill the nose. Bright lemon, orange, pineapple and mango meld seamlessly with pine notes over a crisp and light malt background, followed by a pleasant, lingering bitterness that’s not overpowering.

Dull gold body with chill haze, pouring an aggressive white head with big suds like a bubble bath, good retention of several minutes.
Fresh and bright citrus and spruce hops on the nose, of orange and lemon, a whisp of mango.
Taste matches the aroma, but in milder way, the flavours aren't as distinct. There's a general citrus hop note, but pine takes the lead, and subtle mustiness is present. Hits the mark as a sessionable pale, it's tasty with approachable bitterness and balancing toasted malts, refreshing and highly drinkable with a dry finish. Medium body and carbonation.
Bring a bunch of these to your next backyard bbq and you'll be a happy camper. It's just interesting enough and will pair well with most anything.

Hotel room beer Mississauga
Mostly clear deep golden color with a pillowy white head that persists. Fruity earthy floral with bits of bready light caramel and hints of butterscotch. Not too bad.

Hazy and cloudy straw color with moderate activity. Thick foamy and a bit frothy, white 3-4 finger head, lasting around 10-15 minutes, with decent legs and swirl reaction. Flavors of sweet grains, lemon, grapefruits, pineapples, caramel, clove, and floral hops. Slick and smooth full body with crispy carbonation. Medium strength finish, zesty lager yeast with grainy, peppercorn feel and smoky dry hops. If you don't pour the yeast it's more similar to a cleaner rustic and less soapy dry lager. If you pour the yeast all the way the body is less crispy while more murky and tongue coating, closer to typical tropical IPA. So it's a complex brew with very good balance, intensity, and freshness. Incredible smell of herbs. Overall a high quality craft.

Can from the lcbo for around $3. Way too much carbonation.

Different flavour profile on this one. It's fruity but reminiscent of Thrills gum with a sort of 'soapy' citrus flavour that lingers. Will need to have another to see if my palette was off.
