355 ml can served cold into a pint glass. LCBO purchase for $3.95 CDN or so. Canned at the end of April 2022.
Appearance - Mildly hazy rich golden color with nearly two fingers of loose white head.
Smell - Middling graininess with a slight citrus kick. Leafy hops abound.
Taste - Some graininess and dank hoppiness. Feel that dry hopping was in play here. Little bits of citrus, some grapefruit and lemon make their way in.
Mouthfeel - Medium boided, reasonable carbonation and semi-dry finish.
Overall - Pretty darn good, but pricey APA.

Pours a partially cloudy gold colour with a midsized head atop. The smell is hoppy and bitter. The taste is quite nice, hoppy floral, grassy. Nice carbonation level

Pale golden straw in appearance, with a finger and a half of loose, soapy head that recedes into a thin spotty cap and a thick foamy ring around the glass. It is ever so slightly less than clear, beer is likely unpasteurized? Unsure. Could just be a typical hazing effect. Looks great in the glass.
I hate to use these terms, but my goodness, the juicy, the fresh, the dewwy aroma in these hops. It’s as if you are standing in the hop fields themselves after a rain. Citrus, grassy, and floral. Oranges and nectarines bring sweet notes, and grapefruits and limey notes being the bitter. Smell is of both peel and pulp. These aromas are simply outstanding to me. Some biscuit notes in the background bring the maltiness to a small centre.
Slightly unfortunate, the taste pales a bit compared to the nose, though it must be mentioned it’s not bad. It’s just the nose was that good for me. A mild to moderate bready taste that is biscuity, if not slightly cracker like in character is up front; backed by a presence of smoothly bittering hops. The malt and hops switch places in prominence from the nose. My goodness who doesn’t love good classic centennial and cascade hops? Providing the perfect level of tastes for a pale ale, just a slight hint of resinous character, it takes a main role towards the finish with piney, grapefruit, and mostly citrus peel tastes. Low to no pulpy explosive flavours as much as typical pale ale hop ones. If that makes sense.
Light body, lower than average carbonation of tiny bubbles creating a smooth but mostly crisp sip. The finish is bitter at first but moves to being mostly crispy and fresh.
This is an excellent example of a pale ale. I can’t wait to try more from this brewery

355 mL can from the LCBO; packaged Jan 24 2022 and served slightly chilled.
Pours a clear, bright, sunny golden-yellow colour, producing about a finger of loose, soapy white head that dissipates within a couple of minutes or so. A decent swath of arcing lace is left in its wake, as well as a tight collar and some filmy suds on the surface - looks good to me. Citrusy on the nose, with orange and grapefruit figuring in prominently; there're also hints of lemon, juicy nectarine, floral hops and a a light piney note.
It's tasty, but nothing out of the ordinary - still, I'm a sucker for a good pale ale with Centennial hops. Hints of grain and light breadiness, followed by lemon, white grapefruit and floral, pithy, slightly woodsy hops. Mildly bitter, with a dry finish that encourages you to take another sip. Light in body, with assertive carbonation that feels lively and prickly on the tongue; feels crisp, and quite refreshing to gulp back. An approachable beer - I could toss back a few of these over the course of the evening, and I doubt I'd get sick of it.
Final Grade: 3.88, a solid B+. Fiddle & Field is a pretty darn good American pale - relatively light and crushable, with appealing (albeit common) hop flavours - something any existing fan of this style can easily appreciate, I'd think. Yes, it's a little pricier than the alternatives, but I'm willing to accept a slightly higher price tag for farm fresh beer with locally grown ingredients. This'd work well as a substitute for GLB's Canuck Pale Ale, one of my go-to APAs, and I'd recommend it highly to fans of that particular Ontario staple.

Fiddle & Field is a true farm to glass experience.
A classic hop forward pale ale with cascade and centennial from our Field as well as Citra and talus hops with hop notes of stone fruit and citrus ..it finishes dry and refreshing.
Poured into glass with 1 finger head
Clear golden color with slow carbonation leaving a lace as you drink it.
Medium bitterness level. Smooth and refreshing.
Cheers.
