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.

From can. Golden, creamy head.. Light citrus and grapefruit aroma -- hoppy. Some apple as it warms. There’s more malt in the flavour than in the scent. Flowery. Some caramel and a mild hop finish. Light and pleasant. I could see this as a good session beer.

473 mL can from matt7215. Thanks! Dark orange pour with a large frothy head that disappears fairly quickly. Peppery and citrusy hop aroma. Taste is very much the same with some pineapple and grassy notes. Very smooth and drinkable.

473 ml can, Shelburne, ON. Deep golden colour, creamy frothy head. Pleasantly sharp hop aroma. Medium body, sharp hop bite on the first sip, long peppery finish.

650ml bottle. Aroma os malt, and a bready graininess. Meh, pretty pedestrian. Flavour is much of the same, quite grainy. and boring.

can: browny copper colour, some citrus aroma. Surprised by the carbonation, but it doesn’t ruin it. Good mild hops.

from can; little odour; medium head - maybe a bit too much carbonation, but it went down fairly quickly; nice lace; mild hops and malt taste; medium finish, mildly bitter; better warmer than straight from the fridge
