PAVILION PALE ALE ~ MUDDY YORK

Pavilion is an American style pale ale. Sampled on draught it poured a clear golden hue with a small white head. The aroma contains some tropical fruits, bready malts, florals and some citrus hop bitterness. The balance is quite nicely done with some sweetness from the malts complemented by a moderate hop (cascade and centennial) bitterness. The body was medium as was the carbonation. The finish was clean with a decent bitterness. The beer is simple and delicious. I have not been disappointed by the quality of this brewers product yet. East York represent!

MUDDY YORK ~ PORTER

Sampled of draught this beer poured an opaque very dark brown with garnet highlights, and a generous creamy bone white head. The head left quickly but did leave some nice lacing. The nose has notes of nuts, smoke, roasted malts, coffee and chocolate. The flavour has quite a large chocolate presence, along with dark roasted malts, nuttiness, and slightly bitter coffee near the end. As the beer warms a slight dark fruit presence and malts make a greater appearance. The carbonation is on the softer side ad the body is in the fuller side of medium. A decent take on the style - worth trying. East Toronto represent!

GASLIGHT HELLES ~ MUDDY YORK

Sampled on Draft.  Helles lager was the German answer to Czech Pils.  Helles (meaning bright in German) is a bit more malty, with a very similar spice pallet as a Czech Pils.  This beer was a really pleasant surprise.  The beer poured a light golden colour, and had an unfiltered opaqueness.  The nose was a subtle toasted wheat with floral notes.   It was well carbonated with a lively mouth feel.  The beer had lots of flavour!  A pleasant surprise on the taste buds! Great balance of a slightly sweet malt and crisp finish.  Very drinkable and thirst quenching!
