Super carbonated and frothy - glad I didn’t age this at all; It would have exploded the can. Hazy golden coloured body with at least a 10 centimetre tall frothy golden tan head. Aroma of bright citrus and slightly piney hops with some subdued malt and the lightest bit of citrus sugars. Light-bodied; Strong assertive hops up front with a decidedly grassy and floral flavour with hints of the citrus and alcohol and a nice light belgian yeast flavour to finish it off. Aftertaste was surprisingly nice, especially considering the amount of refermentation in the can on this one; The complexity is there, the herbal and grassy hop notes are there and the yeast kick is there - this is much more complex than what I would think of as a summer pale, but that’s because summer in Quebec isn’t too hot and debilitating as it would be in the USA. I sampled this 473 mL can purchased on 20-September-2014 from Marche Des Sauveurs in Montreal, Quebec, Canada for CA$2,99 sampled at home in Washington on 18-November-2014.

Can: Poured a clear golden color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma consists of clean cereal taste with light lingering sweet notes. Taste is a good mix between clean cereal notes and some light sweet final. Body is average for style with good carbonation. Nothing extremely exotic but well brewed golden ale.
