Tenacity Pale Ale

Sold in awesome 355mL cans that feature a bizarre “dog chasing its tail as ouroboros”, Tenacity Pale Ale comes from Tooth and Nail Brewing in Ottawa, Ontario. The 5.5% ale is a nicely carbonated orange-gold brew under a sudsy off-white head.

Tenacity has a nose that contains both sweet citrus and coniferous notes. The flavour is similarly constituted, though rather mildly arrayed around a slightly thin mouthfeel.

To me, Tenacity is a quality pale ale that has some of the trappings of an excellent one. It its flavour were a bit more boisterous, I think this would be a real beast. As it stands, it’s still quite a good offering from an excellent Ontario brewer.

Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
