On tap at Indie. A clear golden amber pour. Yeasty aroma, slightly of bubble gum. Bubble gum yeasty flavor with a bit of citrus and red fruit, becoming a bit more fruity as I go on. For me, it could use a bit more of the cherry, but it’s decent.

(On tap at Bar Hop, June 19 2014) Pours a pale yellow with an orange tinge and a big frothy white head, lingering with lace. On the nose, a mix of sweet cherry, pale malt and slightly spicy saison character. On the palate, a nice juicy sweet cherry flavour mixed with light grain and grassy herbs to start. Unfortunately that seemed to be it, the beer fell flat after with grain, slight spice and lingering fruit turning pretty much to water with no finish at all. Mouthfeel was quite light and watery as well, with a soft carb. Promised much and delivered little as a complete package. I kind of wonder (hope?) whether something wasn’t quite right here.

Well, what do you know, another first. This beer apparently is a colab with Indie 88, Toronto’s newest radio station, on which Indie Alehouse advertises. Don’t know how much those radio guys had to do with it but... Pours a pink-yellow with a think white head. The nose is full of sweet cherries and soft malts. The taste is grass, cherry and wheat. An alright beer.
