Can from the LCBO. Hazy light orange amber pour with a one finger white head that leave a bit of tight lace. Nose is caramel and honey with faint floral hops. Taste follows the nose with a medium sweet start that follows through to the end with on the slightest sign of bitterness. Medium slick mouth with soft carbonation.

On tap at the Ottawa beer fest. it pours a clear amber brown with a bready caramel aroma. The taste is sweet caramel then a light bitterness before veering back to sweet. Meh, average.

On tap at the Ottawa beer fest. A clear light gold with a soapy head & a earthy malty aroma. Medium-light bodied with a sweet somewhat sugary taste plus some grassy/earthy notes. A boring lager.

There is a crap load of metaphor wiggle room for a beer named Spark House (apparently another name for a forest fire lookout tower). it sends the imagination ablaze. Smoked malt? Piney hops? Juniper berries? Woody oak cask? But LB’s beer sputters and fails. Pours a bark brown, big round bubbles that result in, well, not much. The head burns off after than a morning mist on Lake Ontario before settling into ...nothing. Nose of molasses and malts, and something... rye? The taste is roasted malt, but not impressive. The aftertaste has a little ash, ciggy ash, and a mild hop bitterness. I got burned when I bought this one.

473ml can from an LCBO in Toronto. A headless amber pour; malty aroma; malty taste; with the slightest hint of hops. Not particularly pleasant.

Pours a clear golden-amber colour with a creamy warm cap, good retention and some creamy-foamy lacing. Not sure about the smell though, with some grain but hints of fish (seems to be the hops used). The taste is a little better, but still not a fan of this hop. Mild grain good for a blonde ale and the alcohol is quite nicely hidden. Well done for the style, but wish it had different hops (or milder) and having the grain a little more powerful.

750ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours a crystal clear orange with a generous off white head that recedes quickly. Nose is grains and some fruit with a bit of toffee.Sweet start with some honey and pear followed by a bit of spice and a low level of bitterness. Alcohol is quite evident. Medium oily mouth with average carbonation. Lots of alcohol but not much character.

Aroma: Burnt caramel, molasses, crème brulée. Also notes of rye bread and nuts. Nice roasted malt aroma profile sticking out with strength. Appearance: Red / amber, very clear. Average thickness head, holding well, not sticking much to glass and leaving no traces. Taste: Roasted malts with nut accents are showing up straight off the bat. a variety of notes can be detected; from rye bread to creme brulée, and from grain to nuts. Herbal hops are showing up, but with discretion. We can also feel alcohol wrapping flavors with warmfull arms and giving an oily texture. Sparkling is active and hops are missing a bit in order to give a good balance to the liquid. Une lager très sucrée aux accents de caramel et noisettes. Elle me plait bien.
