Sample at Daily Growler Powell. Pours a pale amber color with a medium white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of fruit, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of floral hops, citrus and malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

On tap at Eight Ball. Hazy golden with very little head. Aroma is nice clove, medium body, lower carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is clove and grain.

Keg at Shorty’s - Lexongton. Pours clear copper-gold with a frothy, off-white head. The nose has some leafy hops, rindy orange, toasted grains. Light-medium sweet flavour with notes of ripe and rindy orange, more grain, leaves and earth. Medium bodied, averagely carbonated. Finishes with piney and rindy bitterness, a little earth, ripe orange, mellow alcohol, toasty and grainy bread. Not bad overall.

12oz can (label on upside down) pours a lightly hazy gold with some spitty, white head. Nose is fairly standard, honey, yeast, flowers. Flavor follows, heavy with honey, light lemon, yeast, patchouli. Finishes a bit watery.

Sample at Brass Tap Polaris. Dark brown color with a medium tan head that recedes gradually to a dense film. Patchy lacing. Roast malt, coffee and hops in the nose. Medium body with flavors of roasted coffee, earthy malt and mild hops. The finish is roasty with a coffee and malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draft: Copper-brown with a beige head. Aroma of pumpkin, nutmeg. Taste is basic pumpkin ale and spice fare....the difference is the lactose....gives it an almost sticky, clingy feel...... Tasty, but I don’t think I could drink a lot of it at a sitting.

Draft: Clear, light gold, with a white head. Grain malt, lemon scent. Taste is lightly grassy, a little sweet... Not a strong pils taste, but nice and easy-going. One of those that would make for a great, everyday, stand-by beer.

Draft: Slightly hazy, golden-yellow with a white head. Aroma is like a fresh 2X4.... Woody, sweet, with a pronounced alcohol heat and bitter... Not your typical golden ale by a long shot.

Draft: Clear amber with an off-white head. Spicy orange, caramel scent. Flavour is caramel malt, orange malt....spicy hopping.... Quite nice.

Sweet candied tropical fruits. Medium bitterness overpowered by more sweet fruits. Interesting but too much sugary fruits.
