Strong sweet hop aroma. Nice full flavored hoppiness that’s balanced very well by a strong malt backbone. Leaves you with a mostly malt taste but mixed with a strong hop presence at the same time.
Bottled 11/05/13, bought & drank on 1/3/2014, about 2 months old.

Faint hop smell. Sweet flavor, not much hop taste except in aftertaste. Cask ale on tap at the brewery.

Sweet aroma, almost a combination between a light lager aroma and hops. Sweet bite with a slight hop harshness. Leaves a moderately sweet aftertaste. A bit too much edgy hop bitterness. Label says it’s an unfiltered IPA with falconers flight hops.

Slightly sweet aroma with a bit of malt smell. Crisp flavor that’s refreshing, not very hoppy. Followed by a nice even malt flavor then very little aftertaste. Bottle says unfiltered IPA with cascade hops.

Nice sweet, sharp hop aroma. Crisp, hop sweetness that instead of a dry hop bite on the end of it, has a milky sweet smoothness. Further drinks have a complex combination of hop sweetness, hop dryness, and a malty caramel taste. Quite interesting. Especially for a Canadian beer.

Slight hop aroma, slight dry grain aroma. Mild sweet flavor with a slight hop flavor mixed with a kind of orange juice flavor. Slight fruity aftertaste which fades quickly. Of course after I get it home and read the bottle closely, our says best by Apr 09 12. Today is Dec 08 12, so I missed that by 8 months. I’m sure that doesn’t help…

Fresh raw grainy hop aroma. Had a slightly sweet taste with the same grainy hop flavors present. Leaves you with a moderate hop taste that just fades to sweetness. Overall is nice, but tastes somewhat constructed” rather than artistically created. 2 Basic flavors patched together. Almost like the bold hop presence is trying to mask a mediocre sweet beer in the background. Very bold surprising taste though for Alexander Keith’s.

Mild sweet aroma. Nice fresh grain taste, not too hoppy. Gives full mouth malt followed by a hop bite on the end that fades slowly. Lovely hazy color.
