Can from lcbo. Cloudy light golden finger of fluffy white head. Decently tangy nose of juicy tropical fruit. Taste equally tangy with lemon and vinegar, with the bite slightly lingering. Not a lot of meat but a peppy little kettle. Decent.

Can from the LCBO. Hazy pale yellow with a large frothy white head that hangs around leaving patchy lace. Nose is citrus, lemon peel, tropical fruit, minerals, light yeast and pepper. Light sweet fruity start moving to a medium+ lemony tartness fading to a medium- citrus bitterness, Mouth is slightly thin with active carbonation and a dry finish. 8/4/7/3+/15

Can that pours a hazy light-yellow colour with a big white frothy cap, well lasting and creating some good foamy lacing. Citrus zest aromas with light sourness in the background. The taste shows more the sour touch which lingers on the tongue for a while. Just a tad of dryness, so not so much IPA in the flavours, as the hops are quite mild. Very light tart comes out afterwards in the mouthfeel, after the sourness dies down. Does not seem like a 5.5% ABV. as many sour ales are so sessionable this summer, and this is fairly mild. Good sourness though that lasts and is still not over the top.

A hazed golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity biscuit malt with resinous floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light tropical fruits, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with lemon juice, light mineral notes, resinous floral hops, very nice. On tap at Ottawa winter brewfest 2019.
