India Pale Lagers have been around for a while, but haven't made much of a dent in the market yet. Hopefully that changes as I find IPLs to be a great compromise between having flavour and being easy drinking. 12… instagram.com/p/CDCZ1N3JeFx/…
HazeMama is the latest addition to the year-round lineup from @greatlakesbeer. It's a Hazy NEIPA that packs a strong 7% ABV, along with a strong flavour profile of mango, peach, pineapple, kiwi, and cotton candy.… instagram.com/p/CC_8oUpJV3E/…

Hazed & Confused by muskokabrewery is one of my favourite finds of the summer. It's been around for a while, but this was my first exposure to a wonderful hazy NEIPA. Bursting with mango, tangerine, and grapefruit… instagram.com/p/CC9MyzQpFIv/…
The Organic Grapefruit Radler from @beausallnatural is a nice variation on the style. Beau's added apple and elderberry juice to make a more complex radler. It's pithier than the typical radler, and mellows out the… instagram.com/p/CCwL2uQpFbe/…
It is long overdue to have a @ladiesdrinkbeer collab featured here. Today I rectify that thanks to Brew 0003 aka Hazy Session IPA with Grapefruit & Lime. Brewed with the great @HendersonBeerCo team, this 4% Session… instagram.com/p/CCol_pwJq9k/…

Sunset Point Lager from @CollingwoodBeer is a delicious lager with a moreish quality that leads to finishing the whole can in about 30 seconds (good thing it's only 4.4%). The flavour profile is all about the malt,… instagram.com/p/CCmdxZIJBlq/…

Farmstead Ale is the flagship beer made by @Winterbrookhops out in Caledon. They grow their own hops and partner with other Ontario hop growers to make beers with locally grown ingredients. I love the concept, and… instagram.com/p/CCb19m3Jeza/…
I wasn't familiar with @BrockStBrewing before I came across their Strawberry Blonde Lager in an LCBO. I picked up a can to try, and have some more fun with the picture, and give them a try. The strawberry flavour is… instagram.com/p/CCWoEg_FLl2/…

The Mango Tangerine Sour from @collectivebrew pours like a glass of fresh OJ. It did have a very large and airy head of foam, but it dissipated very quickly, and I think it looks better this way. Strong aromas of… instagram.com/p/CCOzlvNJ6Io/…
The Guava Gose from @collectivebrew is an amazing sour beer. It's lower in acidity, removing that shock of sourness that I find with most sours. The Guava is front and centre in the flavour profile with a nice… instagram.com/p/CCHKcvppfZV/…

Hazy Pale Ale from @lb_brewing is a sessionable brew, dry hopped with Sabro and Azacca for a tropical and citrus profile. A touch light in body to me, it has great aromas of tangerine, mango, and peach. Starts off a… instagram.com/p/CCEkczyJH6t/…

Psycho Thrill Seekers is a Doulbe IPA from @FlyingMonkeys out in Barrie. Like all cans they sell, the artwork is jam packed with details that reveal themselves the longer you stare. This DIPA has upfront notes of… instagram.com/p/CB6qL9hpLKF/…
First cream ale to appear here, and it's Cherry Troll from refinedfool. It has a good balance of sweet, tart, and bitter from the cherries and hops. Well balanced and easy drinking. This is the 2nd beer I've tried… instagram.com/p/CB3tIy2JIvf/…
Kingpost Extra Special Bitter from @CollingwoodBeer is a throwback to traditional English ales you don't see too frequently in cans. It has a lovely taste of toffee and burnt caramel, with a robust hop bitterness… instagram.com/p/CB1npX3pw8K/…

So what if I'm reviewing another IPA, you wanna fight about it? Wait, you do? Well I didn't say I wanted to fight, but my friend here does and he's itching for a scrap 🤜 It's Octopus Wants To Fight IPA from… instagram.com/p/CBmDJ4fJXPs/…

Naughty Neighbour from @NickelBrookBeer is a classic American style Pale Ale made for warm and sunny days. Crisp, bold, and smooth with pine & citrus aromas and flavours. Easy-drinking and sessionable at 4.9%… instagram.com/p/CBjRwMjpKO2/…

The ruggedly handsome #GordieLevesque makes his first appearance on this channel, repping the Canuck Pale Ale from @greatlakesbeer. Strong aromas of grapefruit, mango, and pine welcome you before the first sip… instagram.com/p/CBbqfMqpBTR/…
Another day, another IPA - today's offering is Greenwood from @LFBrewery. It's been a staple of the Toronto craft beer scene for years now and is one of the best NEIPAs brewed in Ontario. It's dank and bitter, but… instagram.com/p/CBYt1SFpbP5/…
