M- high carbonation and peppery mouth feel
T- quite bitter upfront with no real sweetness try taste but flavorful
O-did I spell it on my pants, yes, was whatever I saved quite tasty, absolutely.

Got this one at the LCBO this past summer.
From a can into a pint glass.
Described as a Session IPA
APPEARANCE: Pours a two finger, looser, foamy white head with lousy retention. Gamboge orange in color with lower levels of carbonation. Head fades to a splotchy wisp and leaves some chunky lacing down the glass. A splotchy wisp and ring remain leaving dots of lacing as the glass empties.
SMELL: Caramel notes, melon, honeydew melon and watermelon on the nose. Some floral notes as well. Nice and plenty of melon character here.
TASTE: Caramel, melon and watermelon up front. Flavorful finish with more melon, floral bitterness and light caramel sweetness. Straight forward but well balanced.
PALATE: Lighter body and medium levels of carbonation. Creamy on the palate, goes down smooth and finishes dry.
OVERALL: Pretty good stuff. Plenty of character and well balanced for such a low ABV beer. Refreshing and well worth drinking on a regular basis. Give it a chance if you see it. Recommended.

A - Light golden/light haze
S - Hops, faint smell of citrus
T - Light hops/citrus (maybe orange in the far off distance like an Orangina aftertaste) Aftertaste is pleasant but short-lived.
M - 6/10 carbonation level
O - I'm happy I tried this on a hot summer day because it's very light (3.8% is a little low) and refreshing but lacks the complexities and depth that a regular PA offers.

Purchased at the LCBO for just under $3.00 for a 473ml can. Served at 4deg C in a draught glass
A- Opens well and pours a 1" high white head that films out in 1min. Light gold color and filtered clear
S- Good hop character. Little else
T- Very light but oodles of hops for how light it is. Not very sweet at all. Good IPA but lacking the depth and balance of a big IPA
M- Dry and crisp. Light and refreshing
O- Excellent session beer for the summer. Just pounding these back at the BBQ is a pleasure when the temperature hits 30deg C (90deg F) plus
Food Pairing
This nice refreshing brew went well with...... Shish kabobs. Chicken breast, mushroom, quartered onions and orange bell peppers
Enjoy

473 ml shrink wrapped can from the LCBO for $2.80 CDN. Served cold into a pint glass.
Appearance - pale coppery yellow in color with a surprising two plus fingers of head. A touch hazy, plenty of bubbles and surprisingly good head retention that comes with multiple rings of lacing. A good first impression.
Smell - some citrus notes but toned way down from the other tank ten offerings. A damp grain aroma backing the citrus.
Taste - light with grapefruit and some lemon with a bready accompaniment. However, the taste is a bit too thin and doesn't last which can be expected to some extent.
Mouthfeel - clean and crisp, but very carbonated giving this a gassy feel. Body is quite light and works well with the lighter flavour profile.
Overall - I believe the brewer has achieved the desired result, creating a light moderately hopped ale, that can be consumed in bunches and tastes pretty good. I find the flavours to be just a little too light and a little to watery especially with the heavy carbonation for this to be a consistent purchase. Still these guys prove they're near the top of the hopped ale hierarchy in Ontario.
