Bottle from the LCBO. Pours a slightly hazy light gold with a generous white head that leaves some lace. Nose is grass and pine and light citrus with a bit of pepper. Taste does not quite live up to the nose; nice bitterness that quickly fades to a flowery sweetness and a light dry finish.Light to medium body and mild carbonation make this easily drinkable.

Bottle: Poured an amber color ale with large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of floral and grassy hops is very enjoyable and quite powerful. Taste is also dominated by a huge aroma of powerful grassy, green and floral hops with some citrus notes. Malt backbone is present though hardly plays a huge roles considering the amount of hops in this beer. Body is about average with good carbonation. Solid harvest beers with loads of hops and limited bitterness level.

(Draught at Brydens, Sept 21 2013) Pours a dark gold colour, white head, a bit of lace. Aroma is grassy hops, pale malt, grain. Flavour follows for the most part. Sweetish pale malts, grassy hops, light citrus pith, grain to start. More pith and grain towards the middle, finishes slightly bitter with a real grain edge. Mouthfeel fairly light, carb moderate. Sad to say this comes across as a boring, macro-ish pale ale. Disappointing.

Single from LCBO, painted label brown bottle. Pours a clean golden-amber colour with a beautiful creamy warm cap, good retention and thick foamy lace. Fresh grassy hop aromas. Mild dry mouthfeel that is medium-light bodied. The flavours are nicely balanced between the grass hops and the cereal grain malts. Goes down quite well as well-blended with the grass, grain and decent dryness - without being too much.

Very strong citrus and some piney bitterness here. Pours clear orange with good head and lacing. Boozy and even minty smell. Very bitter finish here. Lively carbonation. On tap at C’est What Craft Beer Festival.
