Tofino Brewing Co. Tuff Session Ale American Pale Ale at 5% ABV (C$8.50 at Sundance Wine Market, 650 ml, no bottle date or best before, reviewed 13-Jan-2016)
Appearance: clear medium amber with two fingers of growing rocky light beige head, good retention and lacing. (4/5) Aroma: caramel, nutty, toast, apples. (6/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate-low bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, short duration finish. (3/5)
Not bad, but not what I was expecting at all. More like an ESB, really, than an APA. Certainly darker and maltier than I prefer APA’s. (12/20)
