3RD Place, 2017 BC Beer Awards! A fruity, thirst-quenching Golden Ale. The clean malt backbone and delicate bitterness are complemented by pear, watermelon and mango notes from a generous addition of El Dorado hops late in the brewing process.

473ml can. Pours a clear orange gold with a small, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Mild aroma of caramel malt, pear and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of biscuity pale malt, watermelon, mango, pear and grassy hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Well balanced and easy to put back.

On tap at Backroads, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is gently fruity, with light citrus, some stone fruits, and biscuity malt. Flavour is bright, with a nice stone fruit character, subdued hops, and crisp biscuity malt. There's a nice fruitiness to this, with a more interesting palate than most golden ales. Good stuff.
