Bottle sampled on the Ferry back to Nova Scotia. Fairly clear deep yellow color with a small bubbly white head. crackery grainy pilsner maltiness with just a hint of earthy spicy hops to counter. I was beat up and tired and I sucked this down in record time with no regrets.

Pale straw colour with a wimpy head. Slighty pissy hops and faint strawlike malts in the nose. Really light body with a bit of ripe apple character. No particular bitterness. A bit wet in the finish.
