I bought a can at the beer store in Ontario 473ml at 4.5%.
Poured a 2finger head into glass hazy golden color good carbonation leaving a good lace as you drink.
Taste is very light fruity flavors not that sweet which I like with a low bitterness level makes it easy to drink with a dry finish.
Overall I am enjoying this session IPA
Funny picture of a Pig on my can
Cool can
Would buy again
Cheers

473 mL can from the LCBO; coded 54 4 1326 0245 and served barely chilled.
Pours a slightly foggy golden-yellow colour, capped off with an inch of lumpy, foamy white head. It dissipates steadily, leaving behind a messy, sea spray band of lacing as it is reduced to a creamy collar and thin cap - looks great to me, but it's not what I'd call especially fragrant. I'm getting subtle hints of grapefruit, melon, orange juice and grainy, wheaty malts, with just a hint of earthy, resiny hops.
A serviceable session ale - grainy pale malts and wheaty sweetness provide backup for flavours of orange, lemon, melon and mango, all of which come as relatively diluted. It finishes with some pithy, floral hops and pine sap bitterness that carries on into the aftertaste, lingering on the taste buds before fading to dry. Light-medium in body, with moderate carbonation that feels frothy on the palate, resulting a in a light, kinda fluffy texture in the mouth. Excellent drinkability.
Final Grade: 3.70, a respectable B grade. Clark Is In Session is fine for what it is - the most significant compliment I can offer is that it does have a well-balanced flavour profile: some session IPAs are just hop water, but this one's malt base is sturdy enough to hold up under scrutiny. Other than that, I also like the dry-ish finish, which works well with a light, refreshing pale ale - I'd be fine with this on a hot day, but isn't that true of virtually any light beer? It's certainly a decent beer, so I'll say give it a try if you're curious and enjoy the (sub)style - as for me, I'll pick it up again at some point.

Pours a nice gold colour with a loosely packed white head on top. Hops is all I get on the smell. Taste is sweeter than your average IPA, but there is a definite IPA background. Subdued citrus and other tropical notes.

Look: Bright translucent corn syrup colour. Pours with a big 3 finger head of tightly packed white bubbles. After 5 minutes the head is still holding 1/4 finger across the top of the glass.
Smell: Soft floral notes, with a gentle pine backbone.
Taste: Peppery and earthy. The hops come through gentle and relaxed.
Feel: Soft, with a dry finsih.
Fantastic looking can! Bought this can on branding alone. A very quaffable session IPA, nothing mind blowing here, but nothing offensive or off. It's a good example of a pedestrian session IPA. I give it a solid B.
