This is just \"thin\" on a lot of fronts. A soft nose of some malt and citrus. The taste is faint with some very green citrus hops, pepper and vegetables. The body is thin as well and there is little staying power to what is there. Sorry.

750mo bottle from the lcbo. Outstanding aroma of limes, citrus, and touches of honey. The flavor is more citrus, sweet, soft mouthfeel, light bitterness. A delicate beer, big aromas and flavors of citrus, some subtle grass, and a little pine. Quite impressive, great stuff!

Tall can (thx, Peter!). Aroma is somewhat chemical, like a paint, with herbal notes. Taste is the same with malty and herbal notes. Not pleasant chemical aftertaste. Not good.

750mL bottle, pours a clear dull golden with a medium white head. Nose is very strange, with strange earthy and armpit notes, and biscuity malt on the back end. Flavour is just as strange, with earthy, fungal notes, armpits and biscuity malt. This is very dull and rather off. Not a disaster, but not good.

Single bottle at the LCBO and did not recognize that this was a beer from this brewery, as it is quite different from their others. Pours a slight hazed, golden colour with a small frothy head that leaves a creamy slim top and lacing all-around. The mouthfeel is wet (like the title implies) with the hop in the background, and the grain that lingers a bit with the light grass. Quite a nice, grainy and mildly hoppy Pale Ale that is easy to drink. Having this one before my Christmas eve dinner.

750ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours a hazy very pale orange with a generous white head and lots of lacing. Nose is fresh cut grass, hay and citrus with a layer of honey in the background. Lots of hops bitterness through the front and middle but smoothed out by a peaches and honey sweetness. The finish could use some more punch. The body is light and slick with average carbonation. Very easy drinking.

Aroma of some citrus hops with a lot of malt here. More like an English Pale Ale in flavour. Leaves with light bitterness. Pours clear orange with decent head and lacing. Bottle.
