Canette 500ml sous le nom "Hockley Gold Premium Draught". De couleur dorée et légèrement voilée. Nez de grains de malt pâle, légèrement fruité (léger d’agrumes, traces de pommes) avec des notes de miel et de houblon floral et herbeux. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture légèrement huileuse et aux notes aqueuses. Goût légèrement fruité (léger d’agrumes et zeste, notes de pommes) avec un goût de grains de malt pâle sucrés lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute des notes de céréales et de miel ainsi que de faibles trace sde de maïs sucré et de pain puis en finale l’on retrouve une très légère amertume de houblon herbeux (foin), légèrement floral et aux notes asséchantes. Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux aux notes florales.

Originally rated December 2006. After enjoying their dark ale, I was surprised to see this one in a can at the LCBO. Pours a golden-yellow colour with a small white head, with decent lace. There is a very slight cloudiness to it. Lightly carbonated and aromas of grain malts and a little grass. Watery mouthfeel that is a bit sticky. Mild taste of malt (sweet and grainy) throughout with a light bitter finish and corn showing up in the aftertaste. Not as good as their dark for sure, nor intented to be. Always nice to try a different product from a good Ontario micro.

A lightly hazed golden ale with a thick white froathy head. Light sweet aroma of grape cool-aid and soap. In mouth, a crisp malt with light lactic acids, faint signs of infection, a bit astringent, and short in mouth. A tad unpleasant. 500 ml can from LCBO, probably 3 months old.

Can: Poured a light yellow color ale with a medium bubbly white head with OK retention. Aroma of corn and adjunct is quite intense and not expected. Taste also remind me of adjunct and macro beers. Body I light as expected and carbonation is well. I was expecting something way getter then this after having tried and enjoyed their dark ale.

Pale yellow, with lots of protein haze. Even the aroma is watery. And slightly grainy. Flavour is the same, with a sweetish edge at first, giving way to a grainy sourness. Very light, very watery. I'm so glad they decided to open up another new brewery in Ontario. How could I have ever lived with only 124 shitty pale watery beers when I could have 125?
