341 ml bottle. Pours a hazy, golden amber with a large, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Light fruit aroma with grain and caramel. Sweet malty flavour with fruit and caramel, ending on a mildly dry, bitter note. Light to medium body with a watery texture and soft carbonation.

Draft - Grassy malty nose. Creamy white head and a clear light amber. A basic session amber, not exciting.

Draught at The Irish Heather, Vancouver
Golden color. Light cereals aroma and flavor; the mouthfeel is papery; low bitterness; very light fruity touch deriving from the yeast. Simple.

Hazy copper, small beige head. Light fruity nose, faintly citrus.Cookie dough malt flavor, no hops. This is supposed to be a bitter/pale ? Nothing bad here, but nothing good either.
