473 ml can. Pours a copper color with moderate head. Aromas of light piney hops, light fruit and old malts. Stale flavors of malts, dry caramel, and a bit of cardboard. Cannot decipher the best before date. Bought at govt store so hopefully not out of date; but sure tastes old.

Clearish orangey cipper body and little foam, dry grains on the nose. Flavour is sweet malts with caramel hints and nothing else. Okay carbonation helps the mouthfeel, but otherwise this thing is mediocre.

I think this is well made example in the style. It's clean and dominated by hops, but not too much. Certainly well above average. Vancouver airport ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

500ml can. Pours a hazy copper with lots of sediment floating around and a medium, frothy, long lasting, white head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of pale malt, caramel, grapefruit rind and pine. Sweet flavour of biscuit malt, caramel and citrus rind with pine resin in a dry, mildly bitter, hoppy finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Not bad.

Slight haze, fair bit of hop bitterness but not a lot of brightness, a bit yeasty, has a touch of earthy hop...all told needs a bit more brightness.
