Bottle: Poured a copper color ale with a generous head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of medium bitter hops with some floral notes is actually better then I had hoped. Taste is also a very nice balanced mix between some caramel malt notes with a nice touch of citrus and bitter hoppy notes. Body is just about right with good carbonation. Well done for the style with good quaffing quality.

Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks David C. Slightly hazy amber color. Aroma of piney hops, toasty and citric notes and light grainy hints. Flavor has some malty sweetness but gradually turns drier and bitter with fresh pine-needles hoppiness. Medium-bodied.

At a tasting, thanks David, medium head that dissapears quickly, darkish orange colour, aroma of grapefruit, pine and herbs. flavours of malt and orange marmaladewith traces of barnyard and a touch of metal which leads to a little unpleasant aftertaste, a little bland.

This ale poured a light yellow colour with a fast living, rocky head. To the nose there are scents of corn, stew, bread and a tiny amount of hopp cereal scent? First sip was smooth and watery witha little stew flavour at first. Thats right, beef stew. I dunno either. Watered off to malty bread flavour and was left at that.

Can: Poured a pale yellow lager with a pure white medium foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma is mostly dominated by some very bland malt but no adjunct could be detected. Taste is also dominated by some weak malt with no much else discernable. I kind of understand what they are aiming for but some kind of taste profile would probably have been enjoy more by their customer target segment.

Straw colour. Fairly strawlike nose with faint hop. This is clean, strawlike, fairly sweet. The body is very light. This thing finishes really quickly, clean. Well-made, but truly boring and really, are they going to out-market the global conglomerates?

Bottle from LCBO. Golden ale with a big bubbled white head. Unpleasant sweet corn syrup and malt aroma. In mouth, a rather boring and metallic beer with faint notes of butterscotch. Buttery mouthfeel.

Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with a medium light foamy white head with good retention. Aroma of floral hops is mix with grassy malt. Taste is a bit more interesting then expected with grassy feels mix with something quite salty. Without being great this is an above average golden ale with some character.
