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.
