Wow, just had one of these and I was blown away. This is $10.99 a six pack at Co-op and I wasn't expecting much. This is the best sub 5% Alc. pale ale I have ever had. Really nice citrus notes and clean finish, no nasty aftertaste. A great, refreshing summer beer that you can have a few of without getting loaded.

Less hoppy IPA Mid copper look a girly finger of head with a very nice taste and lemon skin finish Slight grit some will call for more hop but I like this because it’s less hop. A nice summer ale that I will revisit again Cheers.

A good smooth IPA - especially if you like your IPA not too hoppy. Would be improved with a little more depth and colour but a great beer on a hot day.

355ml can - I can't believe it's been three years since I met these folks, and now I finally get to try their brew!
This beer pours a mostly clear, medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and chunky off-white head, which leaves some decent eroding limestone cliff lace around the glass as it lazily recedes.
It smells of bready and biscuity caramel malt, some acerbic orange and white grapefruit rind, tannic black tea, and further leafy, piney, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, some lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, muddled domestic citrus peel, dried and crusty honey, Lipton tea bags, and more understated earthy, piney, and musky floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly sedate in its perfunctory frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess sneaking in as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes trending off-dry, the big malt hardly losing a step, while the hops fade into the distance.
Overall, this is a very well-made version of the style, full and robust seeming, with just enough hop offset to keep things sane (and sober, even, given the sub-standard ABV). Easy to drink, enjoyable, and if I have to nitpick (and I do), just a bit more hop bitterness might put this one up against the current Albertan pale ale greats.

355ml can poured into tulip.
Pours a slightly hazy medium copper with one thin finger of beige head that leaves Mexican badlands lace as it recedes.
Smells of baking bread, mild white grapefruit and lemon zest, pine and green leaves.
Tastes of more bready caramel malt, grapefruit juice, lemon peel, soft pine resin and more leafy floral hops.
Feels soft and fluffy. Medium bodied with frothy carbonation. FInishes dry.
Verdict: Recommended. There doesn't seem to be a shortage of good pale ales brewed nearby.
