Nose features sweet bready and caramel malt and fruity hops with a slightly acidic tinge. The same elements are in play in the taste profile. It's quite sweet and rich, with fruity hops that are a bit acidic and not as fresh and juicy as many current ipas.

Hazy orange pour, big off white head. Light citrus, light caramel, and some light soapy crystal malts. Mouth feel is thin, carb is soft. Some nice green leafy hop notes but they are subtle and fleeting. Alot of sweet pale malts, hints of citrus. Alcohol is well hidden, low bitterness, meh.

A hazed blonde ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, nice and smooth. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity caramel malt with light treacle, grassy hops, light mineral notes, nice. On tap at Cheshire Cat, Carp.

Bouteille de 750 ml du canada Craft Beer Club. Arômes de solvant et de petits fruits acidulés et de chou bouilli. Ça n'augure pas bien. Les houblons semblent affadis et périmés. Liquide doré, très légèrement voilé. Gazéification moyenne. Mousse rocailleuse qui se maintient assez bien. Petits fruits acidulés en entrée de bouche avec accents de miel sauvage et de houblons périmés. Le profil malté est dissimulé sous l'acidité. Les accents floraux et herbacés sont bien présents mais sont dominés par cette saveur désagréable et acidulée. Je ne sais que penser de cette bière. Ses propriétés gustatives sont-elles voulues ou la bière est-elle périmée?

Pours a hazy golden-amber colour from the can. The head is creamy, long lasting, warm with some decent lacing. The aromas are really not what I like. The fruity malts are alright, but the hops are not well-balanced with this, creating some infected notes (with very mild sourness). The taste gives out this feeling as well, but the average bitterness comes to help things. The grassiness is much better here. Better blended with the citrus fruits. Gets better as it goes, but this infection-thing really bugs me.
