473mL can, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is dry, bringing out notes of herbal, skunky notes, and some lemony hops. Flavour is super skunky and astringent, with nasty skunkiness, grass, and lemon. Skunky and gross. Nasty.

On tap at Garrick's Head, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out tons of juicy tangerines upfront, with citrus hops and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is similar, with tons of juicy tangerines upfront, followed by a blast of citrus hops and dry biscuity malt. Lovely aggressiveness from the tangerines here, leaving a citric but not too ascorbic finish. Very good.

On cask at Garrick's Head, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out notes of light smoke, toasted malt and dry cocoa. Flavour is on the sweet side, with smoked meat, cocoa, and lots of sweet residual sugars on the finish. Very sweet, though not quite cloying. Meaty palate. Very good.

Light, grainy, with a sweet lemony character. A bit candyish, cloying. Last year’s lemon theme was executed with subtlety, this is over the top. Unbalanced, basically just a shitty (too strong) radler. Honestly, did they take a shortcut trying to scale up, using fake lemon syrup over a Labatt Blue base or something?

On tap at VCBW Festival 2016, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma is very light, bringing out cereal notes and only a touch of lemon. Flavour is fairly off-putting, with lemon, stale vegetal notes and light cereal qualities. Tastes very stale. Not easy drinking like it should be. Not good.
