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.

Bright amber with a big foamy almond colored head. Big citrusy nose with slight fruitiness and a touch of malt. The body is slighlty bitter, leafy with woody hop notes. Semi long palate that dries out somewhat quickly. Very little malt in the body, slightly one sided.

Thanks to Greg Clow for the bottle. Very sweet grapefruit/orange nose, some toasty malt. This one is a bit too sweet for me with herbal and earthy hops. Bitterish malty finish. Slightly cloying.

Nice looking, nice head. Malt sweetness immediately apparent, dimished grapefruitiness, has an indistinct fruitiness - a little apple, a little nuttiness, but it's a little fake - still overall flavorful and drinkable. Substantial yeasty fruit and alcohol with the last big swirl - also some metallicness.

Robe dorée très claire aux reflets cuivrés surmontée d’une mousse blanche qui s’estompe, mais résiste. Arômes de caramel, de malt, de levure, de diacétyl et de houblon aromatique léger. Saveurs de malt, de diacétyl et de fruits rouges. Bien.

Amber looking ale with a good taste. Surprise to see that it’s not really a made in Ontario beer. Malty aroma. Medium body.

Well it’s about time NB Liquor got something in from south of the border that wasn’t swill. This 473ml can poured a golden colour with a thin lasting head. There is a nice floral almost garden aroma that lingers over the malt presence. The flavour is somewhat crippled by the minute toastiness which comes off at first like a stale taste and only presents itself somewhat properly mid-glass.

hoppy aroma, more malt balanced and light on body. a very simple ipa without much to set it apart
