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

On tap @ Mill St. Brewpub: Deep redish-amber with thin fizzy head. Lively carbonation. Well-hopped nose with roasted nuts and shades of caramel. Tastes sweet and malty up front. Roasted almonds, spice and grapefruit round it off. Well-balanced with a bitter finish. Brilliant.

Pretty strong for an APA, but I like it. Very unique hop profile, spicy, but with a very short clean finish. This makes it quite drinkable. Hops are certainly well established, but it has the body it back it up. Very well done.

An amazingly different beer, you get different spices on the nose with a uniquely different flavour of malt and spice. Has a great hop to it with a short bitter finish.

Bottle at HogTownHarry Fest 08. Chestnut colour with lychee and dusty hop aroma. Thin bubbly beige head. Pretty nice, good grapefruit, lychee. Good malts. Caramel nuts. Duff says "it’s a bit like a Snickers bar." Pretty good. I liked it. Really sessionable beer.

Fairly strong hoppy taste with a slightly bitter finish. Clear amber colour with very little head (341 ml bottle). Overall a very solid amber ale.

Bottle - Rusty red/copper colour. Nice dirty white head also. Lovely hoppy aroma with malt and strawberry thrown in. A most definite malt and hop flavour with a bitter-kiwi undertone. It has a slight dry and bitter finish. This is a fantastic beer considering its availability and price, approx CAD$12 for a sixer.

341 ml bottle courtesy of my Secret Festivus. Pours a clear amber with a moderate off-white head that lasted until the end and coated the glass nicely. Pleasant aroma of malt with some pine, grapefruit and floral hops notes. The flavor is malt up front with the floral hops kicking in towards the finish. There is a light bitter flavor that emerges after the swallow that lingers for quite a while. Medium bodied. A solid ale.

Nice rich amber pour with a modest creamy head. Nose is all spice with some toasty notes. Spice follows in the taste along with sweet baked bread and a hint of cocoa. Very balanced - pleasantly surprised and have made one of my everyday beers.
