Commercial Description:
Brewed by Wellington County for the Ontario market.
Headstrong Pale Ale, inspired by the legacy of authentic British pale ales, is crafted with imported British grains, a special strain of British yeast, and hopped with prime Kent hops for a floral hop aroma, rich texture, and well balanced malt finish.

Copper-brown body beneath a bone head, exuding roasted barley, peat, hops, and subtle molasses aromas. On the dry side with an astringent bite packed with hops and toasted grain flavor. Medium finish.

473 ml can. Pours a clear slightly yellowish gold with good white head. Nice floral hoppy aroma with a hint of sweet malts. Flavour is sweet with notes of fruit, citrus and grass. Somewhat bitter finish. Decent session ale.

Pours copper with an excellent thick creamy white head. Aromas of hops and caramel malts. Tastes of meduim strong bitter hops with a touch of sweet caramel malt and a hint of citrus fruit. Good bitter finish that does not last too long. Above average Pale Ale.

I don’t know what’s the deal with the two HEadstrong being in different breweries, but anyway, the taste is superb. It is like a Belgian strong ale but with the Canadian touch.

canette de 500ml, bière passablement pale pour une pale ale, blonde presque avec une légère teinte cuivrée, nez agréable, bouche qui a une touche métallique, j’aime mieux les bouteilles

500ml Can. Pours golden, well carbonated with a strong head: aromas of pine in the hops with orange, grass and a hint of sweet grapefruit. The flavour is more one dimensional: sweet with a hop kick, lemon, a bit of grass and the customary tin can metal flavour from the container. Mouthfeel is oily and not too thin considering the golden-transparent look. Head died down quickly.
