We brewed this light ale using the finest hops and signature blend of locally sourced and ancient grains. The result is a light, crisp beer.

A lightly hazed golden ale with a thick frothy off white head. In aroma, a rather damp and chalky malt, slightly oxidized (beer is 2 days old!) with weird creamy notes. In mouth, a lager like concoction with mineral grainy malt, faint grassy hops, not very good.

This ale poured a clear yellow colour with a rocky, bright white head. Scents include eggs, a little vinegar and ??? First sip wasn’t as bad as the smell. Smooth and watery with flavours of corn and malt. Finish is slightly sweet with an almost oily mouthfeel. Obviously not what they originally canned.

Single can from the LCBO. Pours a light golden colour with a fizzy-bubbly white head that disappears quite quickly and no lace in sight. Big bubble carbonation, but dies down also quickly. Butterscotch with some cereal grains, basically diacetyl. Mild and buttery. Same mild sweet malt and hint of butterscotch in the taste. The mouthfeel is slightly oily, but pretty light and boring overall. Not gross with diacetyl overly, and I like Hockley, but this is their weakest brew. Still, I guess not bad for a light beer.
