part of a 6er of beers from BC at the LCBO.
Clear copper pour, small white head. light citrus, grass, and some wet paper. seems like all the other beers in this 6er, this beer is quite old. The hops have faded quite a bit, i can see where there was promiss at one point. The bitterness is there, its nice and pithy. Some more citrus notes, with touches of pine in the finish. The hops have gotten quite earthy, but arnt totally unpleasant.

Poured from the tap. Clear gold with small white head. Fruity berry-like floral hops with a hint of pine. Okay.
Mostly just bitter. Nothing special.
Quite nice, traditional, balanced with a good malt body. Clean hops and quite drinkable. Costco variety pck

Sweet heavy fruity hops on the nose, has a clean orange body with modest foam. Flavour is bright piney hops. Mouthfeel has good oiliness, full with nice balance. This is nicely done, clean and well crafted.

355 ml bottle. Pours a pale, clear gold with a medium, short-lived, white head that laces. Nice citrus hop aroma with pine and some tropical fruit. Sweet fruity flavour of grapefruit and tropical fruit with a dry, bitter, resiny, pine finish. Medium body with a slick texture and average carbonation. Nicely done, I enjoyed this brew.

Cask at the Pump House, Solihull. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is skunky malt, light citrus hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a smooth yeasty, zesty citrus, spicy hop bittter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Hazy dark-ish golden color with a small off white head. Caramel malty, toffee, mild fruity and mild citric aroma. Medium body. Tad sweet and a moderate bitterness. Soft to flat carbonation. Caramel malty, mild resinous, fruity and mild citric. A bit to mild and dull. Probably because it was to flat.

Dull amber, thin head aroma is caramel and fruity, slightly citrusy hop. Has some nice sweet lychee character, soft caramels, and maybe a little overripe peach. Ok.
