Nov 25, 2024: Poured from 473mL can (pkg July 02, 2024) @ ABC beer share. Hazed gold with small white head. Same rating as before. Meh. Sept 13, 2024 (7/3/6/3/12=3.1): Poured from the tap @ Governors. Clear yellow gold with small white head. Mild pine and citrus hops, mild biscuit malt, a bit bland.

474mL can. Pours cloudy golden with white head. Aroma is quite malt forward with some hoppy notes I can't pin down. Flavour has grainy malts, some pine and orange peel. Pretty drinkable, but nothing outstanding.

Pours hazy orange with a lingering, heavily lacing head. The aroma is hop led and piney with some citrus. Flavor is moderately bitter, resinous, a little citrus, caramel. Pretty good.

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy orange-amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, grapefruit peel, earthy yeast, light pine and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of bready caramel malt, orange, vegetal, light pine and spicy hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Meh.

Vibrant orangey-amber colour, with just a slight chill haze. Thin head. Fairly bright c-hop bringing orange, pine, and also a fairly substantial biscuity malt. Moderate sweetness forms the base, although it seems to wane in the finish...that finish gets watery because there's moderate bitterness that also fades. It's good til then, but I always find it weird when a beer kicks things off wonderfully with a nice pour and some dry-hopping, and then it kind of stops trying and goes downhill from there. Don't peak in high school.

On tap at the Baddeck Yacht Club, Baddeck NS. A pale amber pour with a thick white head; pine aroma; earthy grainy body; and a piney bitterness. A straightforward pale ale.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of biscuit and sweet grains with straw and a hint of earthy pine underlying. Flavor has a good punt of straw and grains with a hint of biscuit and light earthy pine backing.
