FIRKIN CASK at Bar Volo. Hazy orange, pond-like appearance. Comes at the taste buds with a celluloid, spicy attack that must be the hops, very unusual, and the finish is primarily of bitter hops. The middle and body is fruity and smooth, not cloying. Pretty beer!

On tap, Granite brewery. Big bubbly head, golden copper body, a sharp bitter aroma with a dry-fruity flavour and a bitter finish, very nice offering

On tap at the Granite Brewery in Toronto. Again, a lovely looking beer. Granite cannot be faulted for freshness and vitality of appearance in their beers. Copper with a rocky white head. Aroma is full of hops, but somewhat subdued. The taste is also full of hops, but in a perfect balance, with strong notes of pine and citrus. The palate is crisp and refreshing. All in all, a very decent bitter.

Pint in the Henry House. Copper in colour with a decent white clinging head. Good bitter ale with a strong hint of hops. Very enjoyable and the best place for me to get a beer like home. Doesn’t stand out but a decent sesh beer.

POurs deep copper with really nice notes of fruit and bitererness on the nose and the palate. It finishes with a smooth but bitter flavor.

draft at granite brewery in toronto. dry hopped version of best bitter. same color and head: pale amber with off white head, the strength of hopping do make the lack of malt profile less noticeable.

on cask at the brewery. nice frothy thin beige head, good clear amber color. Aroma is very very hoppy, nice english hops (goldings?)and some musty aromas also. flavour is again, hoppy but not attacking. wonderful bitter yet very smooth finish. very very nice bitter.
