This ale poured a light cloudy, light yellow colour with a minimal soapy head. Scents include wieners, sour grapes and grapefruit pop. First swig was a little thin with flavours of grass, grapefruit and lemons. Finish is sour with a hoppy bitterness lingering. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Can from the LCBO. Cloudy pale yellow with a one finger bright white head that recedes quickly to a sheet. Nose is yeast, light lemon rind, grain, grass and some pepper. Flavour follows with a light lemon tartness with some light honey underneath and a quick hit of spice. Mouth is medium with active carbonation and a crisp dry finish. Nicely balanced. 7+/4-/7+/4/15

In mouth, a nice grapefruit pulp malt with light acidity, light Brett, fruity esters, nice and refreshing. Bottle from LCBO.

Pours a hazy, light golden-yellow colour with a frothy white cap, average retention and a bit of foamy lace. Citrus notes in the nose with Belgian Ale yeast that gives a sweetness with some mild grass to balance things. Earthy flavours with the yeast and hints of lemons, bubblegum, spices. Seems like a light brew overall. Things are pretty mild all-around, but decent and refreshing for the style.

Pours a hazy yellow-beige colour, lemonade-looking, with a white bubbly head, decent retention but not much lacing. Beautiful fresh citra hop aromas with lots of citrus notes, light grassiness and Belgian Ale yeast soft-sweetness. Looking at the 14 IBU, wondering how hoppy this will be judging from the nose. Wow, first sip is crazy sour, not bitter. Then I read the description on the label. Yep, a sour. Decent fruitiness, earthiness and yeast. Gets better as it goes, glad I tried, but not one I would have again. Interesting to say the least.

Bottle from the LCBO. Cloudy pale yellow under a large white active head that lingers. Nose is citrus and tropical fruit and a touch of funk and floral notes. Very light sweetness with a medium- grapefruit and lemon zest bitterness and light+ tartness. Mouth is medium- with active carbonation and a quick finish. This is an interesting and highly drinkable combination. 8/4/8/3+/15+
