At my lady Pamela's house; canned and chilled, from my favourite LCBO at The Roundhouse Centre in nearby Windsor. My first beer from the Baysville, ON brewery...(3.75 then)

473 mL can from the LCBO; dated May 4 2024 and served barely chilled.
Pours clear and effervescent, its golden-hued body capped with an inch of loose, soapy white head that fizzles off within two minutes. A tight collar remains, encircling a patchy cap of film; poor lace generation. It smells mostly of mango - not real fruit, but rather an extract or concentrate. There are also hints of orange juice and bubble gum, but fake mango is the main takeaway.
The flavour profile is along the same lines - mango flavouring dominates, with wheaty, grainy pale malts and slightly citrusy hops being the only other contributors of note. Vaguely floral at the finish, with negligible bitterness; mango flavouring persists into the aftertaste. Light in body, with assertive carbonation that adds some prickliness to this brew's smooth mouthfeel. Mediocre drinkability: finishing one can is do-able, but I have zero interest in a refill.
Final Grade: 3.29, a C+. Keep Rollin' is disappointing in more than one way. First and foremost, I don't think it's a good pale ale - it's lopsided, a little cloying, and its hop flavours leave something to be desired. "But wait," you say, "isn't this also a fruit beer?" That's correct, but looking at it from that perspective, it's just as (if not more) underwhelming - the mango extract is overbearing to the point of being obnoxious. Lake of Bays could've avoided this by making use of additional fruit flavourings, or just not being so heavy-handed with the mango. Taken as-is, it's not totally without merit, but it's not a beer I'm inclined to recommend to other BAs.
