Mad Tom IPA

Brewed by: Muskoka Brewery
Brewed at: Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada
Type: India Pale Ale
6.4% A/V

First Impression
The label design on this one presents the classic overall look of the Ontario craft brewing industry, sort of cartoony with a bit of a mid-century Americana type feel.
A terrific looking beer is held inside the chilly tall can.
Great golden color with a beauty of a foam top on it. Slightly hazy, it has the appearance of being bottle conditioned.

First Sip
The hazy character is supported by a sweet, yeasty-hopped nose. Oh boy! There is a confident citrus aroma and flavor; think blood orange and grapefruit... A fantastic introductory sip which also included a really well executed hop complement late in the mouth.

Halfway
This beer has a visible carbon dioxide activity that makes the pint glass look much like a tiny hot tub full of beer. Yet it isn't terribly gassy to drink.

Bottoms up
From the fun label to the outstanding flavour profile to the really active nature of Mad Tom in the glass, this India Pale Ale from the talents at Muskoka Brewery packs an impressive amount of good into a can of beer. Very well done Mr.McMullen.
