COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Like traditional pale ales, Tankhouse Ale has a deep copper-red colour. We use five different malts to produce a complex malty texture. The most dominant character of our Pale Ale is the hop. The spicy Cascades is used to give an assertive hop flavour, aroma and bitterness to our ale. The result is a satisfying and complex-tasting beer. Our brewmaster developed this recipe 20 years ago and it has remained his favorite drink of choice

Few ounce sample from bottle, pours a golden orange with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of floral hops, citrus and hay - the floral hops are the most prominent flavour. Fairly standard but solid.

from bottle, inviting aroma, a little malt hint of fruit. pleasantly bitter flavour, lingering hoppiness after a few mouthfuls, dry. one to keep in mind if i see it on tap.

turboespresso (197) - Port Moody, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 1, 2011
Bottle. Copper-tan with low carbonation and thin head. No lace. Nice aroma of citric hops and malt. Some fruityness. Taste is well balanced between nice full bitter hop flavour and toasty malt. Easy to drink and flavourful.

JoeZasada (255) - Beaumont, Alberta, CANADA - NOV 13, 2011
Bottle. Pours a darker reddish amber with a moderate pearl head; moderate carbonation. Aroma of hops; notes of grass and herbs. Taste is slightly bitter with citrus notes; warms to a slightly sweet maltiness, notes of bread. Finishes with a glassy hop bitterness with malt undertones. Medium-bodied. Very tasty; a great session beer.

Pours dark amber. Caramel aroma with some hops. A very well balanced taste of caramel, malt, and floral hops, with a moderately bitter aftertaste. A really nice pale ale.

On tap at Marce in Toronto. Pours dark amber with a thick white head and lively carbonation. Aroma is of caramel malt and hints of hops. Medium, tangy body. Grapefruit hops dominate the palate while caramel malt provide some balance. Medium finish is dry. Nothing special brew.
