I am overdue to say something about this lovely ale. It's on tap at our local, Boo Radley's along with a number of other establishments in town. A very hop forward American Pale Ale (meaning it is definitely hoppy), combining 5 malt types and 5 hop types (unless I'm mistaken on reading their chalkboard the other night) resulting in a beer that has both a well rounded maltiness and hoppiness to it. The hoppiness is in that range that you could definitely say "Yes this tastes hoppy and I like it" but not "This thing is so hoppy I'm being blown out of the water". I like it and my wife likes it, which is rare for a beer of this type, usually when the hops are at the level that I like she's hands off. It's my go-to beer lately when I'm out and I recommend that if you have the chance to try it that you do so.
The Junction Brewery isn't that far from the Junction area of Toronto either, just up on Keele and a little bit east from there (90 Cawthra Avenue Unit #101). It's worth visiting as they have a number of other beers on offer there as well, each with their own merits. Perhaps in later posts.
