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.

Bottle - This beer has very little hop presence. Very bland with a minimal amount of head retention. Not sure why the crack marketing team at Labatt decided on IPA, but that is not the style of beer this is.

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.

Can from a beer store in Prince Rupert, BC. The beer is a pale yellowish color with a medium and fluffy white head that burns away steadily. Mild hops aroma with some malt. Light and clean body with light hops, malt and caramel flavors. The finish is sweet pale malt with a bit of hops in the aftertaste. Overall I cannot imagine in what sense of the word this would be called an IPA, and even if not it’s not very good.

Probably my favorite domestic beer that is widely available at bars or restaurants in the province. Not a bad taste but is better in large quantities.

Blond color, poor head. A very poor ale, it has a medium body and almost no characteristic flavor or aroma, nothing of an IPA. Boring.

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.
