A #Beersaturday post on a Saturday...#winning. This week I drank two beers by a new Brewery for me called Junction Craft. Let's see how they were shall we?

Junction Craft Pilsner

Brewery: Junction Craft Brewery
Origin: Toronto ON Canada
Style: German Pils
Abv: 4.5%

Marketing: Neon orange and pastel turquoise color swirls contrast each other nicely on this can. It's like oil and water battling it out for supremacy on which will win out. The can is bold and fun and I like it a lot. It's funky in a way, and reminds me of the bright colors of 90s sports wear. It would be great to view the can under a black light (not that I ever will. I don't own one a black light. Who does?). Though the two cans were similar to each other I slightly preferred this one because of the color and design.

Color: The beer poured a hazy cloudy yellow color with a very hearty foam that was strong enough to go up and over the glass rim. That was a nice feature about the beer.

Nose: The aroma was very fresh and inviting with prominant citrus notes and some bread coming through for me in the background. Pleasant overall.

Taste: Very mild tartness at first quickly followed by a strong bitter finish. I know that taste is all relative but the can suggesting that this beer has a subtle bitterness seems off to me. It was more like a firm slap in the face. This beer was bitter through and through. It tasted fresh and clean though and was quite enjoyable.

Texture: It had a nice sharp carbonation which I was a little surprised by given how much foam it produced during the pour. I was a little worried that over did it and used up all of the carbonation. It had plenty left though. I found it to be light bodied.

Impression: Overall I enjoyed the beer. It was quite bitter but I like some bitterness. The main thing was that it was fresh tasting and without any skunkiness. It drank like a fresh batch of beer that used quality ingredients in its recipe. I would buy it again for sure.

Junction Krispy Light Lager

Brewery: Junction Craft Brewery
Origin: Toronto ON Canada
Style: Light Lager
Abv: 3.9%

Marketing: Another bright and colorful can, this time of hot pink and neon yellow. More swirling imagery. It reminded me of a lava lamp, which I believe they also made a come back in the 90s. This Brewery seems to have a theme for its marketing and I'm liking it.

Color: This one also poured a hazy yellow with a strong head of foam. It lefts ribbons down the glass. I always like it when a beer leaves it's mark behind.

Nose: Fresh and fragrant with citrus notes of lemon and grapfruit. Im getting some fruity or maybe floral hops coming through as well.

Taste: The taste on this one was tangy and bitter for me with tons of flavor, mostly citrusy lemon notes. It was definitely hoppy but not overpowering and once again very fresh tasting.

Texture: Sharp bubbles and very well carbonated. Light bodied similar to the last. That's not surprising given it's a light beer.

Impression: You wouldn't really know that this is a light beer with the amount of flavor packed into it. It was very refreshing and very satisfying overall. I would buy this one again also.

This is a new Brewery for me but I'm liking it. Both beers had a lot of flavor and tasted very fresh. I'll definitely be on the look out for more varieties from them. I'm hoping that they make some darker beers as well.

Which one sounds better to you? What can design do you prefer? Let me know in the comments.

Well thats it for now. Until next time, thanks for stopping by. Cheers everyone!
