7. Rye Pale Ale

Brewed Out Of: Oakville, On

Discription:  A combination of seven different floral British and pungent American hops, some which are added in a dry hopping process.  This involves adding hops directly to the fermented beer in the fermenter.  The hops are well supported by a large malt bill of five character malts with a massive portion of rye which contributes to mouth feel and Cameron’s Rye Pale Ale’s own special character

3. Great Lakes Brewery Crazy Canuck Pale Ale

Description: Canuck pours a deep gold, bordering on burnt orange that produces a tight snowy white toque. Take one last nose before getting into the liquid, which you’ll soon find will be hard to put down. Soft carbonation leads into a sweet honeyish start before it gives way to more grapefruit, tropical citrus, canned peaches and pine. Light to medium body with a very dry finish.

2. Fat Tug IPA
