Golden color with a white head, medium duration. Aroma has notes of light citrus with some tangerine and light herbal. Flavor is mild bitterness, very refreshing mouthfeel with a good presence of lemony notes. Mild bitterness on palate.

16 ounce can. Amber color topped by a frothy white head. Sweet corn syrup aroma. Bittersweet flavor out of the gate. Slightly sweet caramel flavor that quickly yields to bitter peppery hops. The lack of malt lets this ale get to bitter and dry. Not good, but a notch above most other gluten free ales I have tried.

Can from Hastings Liquor, Vancouver
Hazy blond color, small head. The mouthfeel is very dry, the malt flavor is soft although it lacks a bit the depth that would be provided by the malt, the hopping is powerful but not bright, and the final is a bit papery.
Would be a valid alternative for gluten intolerant drinkers, for other drinkers it’s on par with a dry semi-industrial Pale Ale.

500mL can, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a tiny white head. Nose brings out boiled vegetables, grains, and light hops. Flavour is along the same lines, with boiled vegetables, light hops and dry graininess. Herbal, vegetal and skunky. Not the best, but not a disaster.

This is one of the most astringent bitter beers I’ve had in a long long time. Same with the finish, a long long bitter nasty sharp poke in the palate. Oh my, this is almost awful. Overpowering bitter thing makes me think I’m chewing poisonous berries. This beyond ipa, way beyond, a long long way beyond bitter ipa. I hate IPA and I think this beer takes the think I hate most of ipa, and then magnifies it - exponentially. Smells like mild cheap perfume. Pale yellow. Yea, quench my thirst, fer sure, makes me never want to drink an ipa again. Ruff ruff stuff.

Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours a dark gold with a white head. Aroma seems citrus and floral/fruit. Med body. Flavors suggest IPA, but the hop needs malt support. Basic problem there. Drinkable for all, the non-sensitive will likely prefer the malty ones.
