Old world hops meets new in this knotty blonde; carefully crafted to have a subtle grapefruit flavour with a frothy creamy head. Clean and crisp, this beer goes best with lighter meals like salad or with your favorite sushi. Hersbrucker and Galaxy hops; wheat and 2-row pale malts.

473 ml can. Pours a clear gold with light head. Pretty much a light malty beverage without much hopping. No offensive, just not much there.

On tap at Old Yale, pours a clear pale golden with a small white had. Nose brings out straw and cereal malts - pretty simple. Flavour is clean and simple, with straw, cereal malt, and a hint of residual sweetness. Easy and clean, but boring.

Can - Light citrus and a touch of sweetness. Clearish gold with a frothy small white head. Light citrus and sweet pale malts with a touch of rind in the finish. Not bad for a blond.

On tap. Pours a hazy gold with a small, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet, floral aroma of citrus, biscuit and grain. Sweet flavour of citrus, grain, honey and butter with a crisp, clean, grassy hop finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation.

Draught at 12 Kings, Vancouver
Blond color, just hazy. The aroma is delicate and citrusy. Too bad that the body is so weak, and the malt flavor uninteresting; low bitterness, though balanced, and hints of citrusy hops.
Clean, nothing bad with it; simple but it can satisfy the thirst of some guy working on his BBQ in the summer.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Blond color; creamy head. Mild aroma. Smooth mouthfeel, simple malt flavor, with just a hint of spices from the yeast; correct bitterness.
Easy.

Rather boring ale, blonde body, no head, no aroma, vaguely sweet malts. Unmemorable in the extreme unfortunately.

Bottle from BC Liquore store. Gold with thin white head. Some bleached citrus aroma. Over carbonated. Some ok citrus fruits, bit of tangerine, some pale malt. Bleach is nasty.

Very nice aroma with light hops. But the fresh malts made this beer delicious, with some light bitterness in psot taste. Tasted of cookies, quite good for a blond.

Golden; slight haze; soft, herbal hop aroma w/ mushroom (damn I''m finding those in everything now). Vaguelly hop-accented, but light, with peachy undertones.
