Commercial Description:
Nova Scotia’s most popular beer, Alexander Keith’s India Pale Ale is fully fermented, mellow-aged for smoothness and uses balanced North American flavour and bittering hops to create a unique, malty flavour. Alexander Keith’s India Pale Ale is smooth with a slightly floral hop character and a sweet flavour delivery.

Bouteille de 341 ml. La bière se présente avec une couleur paille très pâle et une mousse modeste qui diminue lentement. Au nez on rencontre des arômes de grain, de sucre et de houblon floral. En bouche le corps est mince avec une effervescence faible-moyenne. On est envahie par des saveurs de maïs et de céréales. Le houblon est dur à percevoir. La meilleur IPA du monde. Vive le sarcasme.

Bought a six-pack of this in Canada ... you don’t wanna know what I paid for this crap. Clear and light golden with a slim head. Light and fizzy and somewhat watery texture. Bready, one-dimensional and bland malts. Light herbal bitterness. Hops were mild and weak, with no depth, aroma or lasting properties to speak of. Can’t believe they get away with calling this an IPA.

Had this so called IPA yesterday in a can. Never saw a good IPA in a can and I still haven’t! If I tasted this blind folded I would of thought is was a Blue or a Molson, something along that line. Just bitter, watery with little hop flavor. Thanks, but no thanks!

Draught at the Skydome (refuse to call it the "Rogers Centre") - poured a fairly light gold, though not as light as the Bud my friends had. Decent enough frothy white head. Slightly earthy, corny aroma, with a lot of sweetness and a very faintly spicy hop note. Flavour much the same - kinda bland, drinkable, sweet, verrrrry subtle hops. In no sense of the word, historical or current, an IPA. Passable blond ale, preferable to Bud, Blue or Canadian, but nothing more than that.

500ml on a tap. Very pale yellow colour, head diminishes fast. Aroma has mild tones of mustard grass. Flavour is very plain. Somewhat bitter, watery. Citrus end. No wonder that pub didn’t sell this as IPA.
