Bottle. Amber, hazy, minty fresh fruity hop nose. Slightly sticky pale malts with a light biscuity character. Refined hop character. Hint of alcohol and chewy malt late. Good balance, tasty. As for the sentence on the label proclaiming the beer to be made with "wild hops from locally sourced farmers"...that’s just awful.

On tap at Strathcona, pours a clear pale copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out wild yeast upfront, with nice fresh hopping and doughy malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with subdued wild yeast, bitter citrus hopping and a residual bitterness. Carbonation is way too soft, almost flat. Not bad, but very uninspired.

Draught at the brewery
Golden color, clean, with almost no head. The aroma is mild, earthy, manure. The mouthfeel is a bit oily, the malts are lean but also a bit chewy; traces of butter; strong bitterness, the hops give some resiny and vegetable character.
Mediocre.
