Rogue Farms OREgasmic Ale
650 mL bottle. Pours orange toffee with a thick off white head. Leaves lots of soapy looking mess. Aroma is deep caramel malt, layers of toffee, dark bread, allspice, and woody herb notes. Delightfully complex with a nice balance of sweet malt and bitter hop bite. Full bodied and chewy with moderate carbonation. Textbook American strong ale.
330 mL bottle. Pours golden amber with a foamy white head. Aromas of floral hop, caramel malt, orange, toffee and buttery biscuit. A touch of sweetness, nice herbal hop balance with a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation and a mild aftertaste. Not a stand out, but the best thing they’ve offered since the tankhouse ale.
Palm
330 mL bottle. Pours amber with a thin white head. Aroma is herb and corn. Flavor similarly one dimensional. The Molson of Belgium. Dull times.
Innis & Gunn Scottish Pale Ale
330 mL bottle. Pours copper with a thin white head. Aroma is oak, vanilla, caramel and spicy, herbal hop. Moderately sweet and full body with a slightly bitter and boozy finish. Medium carbonation. Too sweet for my taste.
Railway City Canada Southern Draft
500 mL bottle. Pours a light straw with a fuzzy white cap. Simple aromas of fresh cut grass, herb and crisp light malt. Clean and refreshing with a hint of sweetness and moderate carbonation.
Railway City Iron Spike Copper Ale
500 mL bottle. Pours copper with a white cap. Caramel toffee, biscuit and marzipan notes with a touch of herbal hop and black tea. Light bodied with a clean finish. Moderately sweet with full carbonation. Quaffable.
Great Lakes Brewery Crazy Canuck
473 mL can. Pours straw with a nice white head, leaves no lacing. Pungent fresh hop aroma, lemon, orange, pine and a touch of biscuit flavored malts. Light to medium bodied with full carbonation. Dry with a the pleasant lingering mouth feel of hop bitterness balanced with crisp malt. A tasty session beer: crush a few of these on a hot day.
Railway City Iron Spike Amber Ale
500 mL bottle. Pours mahogany with a thin cap that quickly leaves with no lacing. Aroma is a touch of woody hop, chocolate malt, amber caramel, pear and plum. Taste is a fairly dry, finishes roasty. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Not badly made, just boring.

Renaissance Perfection Pale Ale
500 mL bottle. Pours walnut with a nice white head and soapy lacing. Aromas of butter toffee, biscuit, fig, mixed nuts and bread. A hint of sweetness well balanced by bittering hop and a touch of earthy floral notes. Medium body and low to moderate carbonation. Well made and well enjoyed; would complement a meal.
