Aroma grainy Malts, pale malts..... Light pils malt. The slightest hint of lemon and I’m assuming the extra green aroma is from the dandelion leaves. Regular mouthful and carb. Finish is lightly bitter with very green notes, no hops and slight lemon rind. Meh, nothing special.

Draft - Lots of sweetness and honey like notes. Clear gold with a decent white head. Herbal, sweet and grassy with a long finish. Different, but ok.

Bomber from the LCBO. Pours a slightly unfiltered golden colour with a big frothy white head, good retention and nice foam-cream lacing. Lots of diacetyl in the nose with the butter and caramel and grain malt in the background. Thankfully, this is milder in the taste with the dandelion leaves coming out in the finish adding some nice different dryness and bitterness. The grainy malt is in the base the whole way. Other than the diacetyl, the rest is pretty good and gets better as it goes. Love the adding of lemongrass and dandelion. Wish it was a little stronger on the lemongrass.

Slight haze, light amber. Aroma is lightly spicy, fruity, taste similar. Light bitterness, cookieish malts, a nice safe amber ale.

A golden amber ale with a thin white head. In aroma, loads of butterscotch and light apples, cloying. In mouth, a lager like offering with sweet cloying malt, faint hops, boring.

Pretty average beer. I can’t taste the lemon grass here. Maybe the dandelion leaves, which add a little sourness to taste and some hibiscus sense to aroma. Pours clear amber with some head and lacing. Tap at Session.
