Can from the LCBO. Lightly hazed medium amber with a large foamy cream coloured head that leaves stringy lace. Nose has stone fruit, citrus and some herbal notes. Light fruity sweetness with a medium- citrus peel and grass bitterness. Mouth is slightly thin with soft carbonation.
Can says brewed for Merit by Lake of Bays.

Bottle from the brewery. Very juicy, loads of citrus, especially juicy mandarin, and some solid tropical fruit and stone fruit. Medium bitterness, some pithy citrus notes and light grasses with a strong mandarin punch.
