Can from the lcbo. Cloudy orange pour, big white head. Aroma is coriander and light citrus with lots of malted wheat. Full mouth feel, soft carb. Finish is dry, all the flavours fade quite a bit, only hints if spice and citrus.... Watery, and bland finish, low bitterness.

On tap. Pours a pale amber with light head. Aromas of… well nothing really. Maybe some biscuity malts. Flavors of sweet toffee, fruit candy and biscuity malts. A sweet pale ale. Drinkable but not for ordering again.

473ml can. Pours a clear pale gold with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Faint aroma of grainy pale malt, red apple and floral hops. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, red apple, light lemon and grassy hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. Clean, refreshing and went down easy after mowing the lawn in the summer heat. Good for what it is.

Has okay foam and deep clear gold body. It smells like soft grain left behind the dishwasher. Taste is okay sweet grain, soft caramel notes. Ends very smooth, soft carbonation, reasonably crisp. It's forgettable, but it's the kind of beer you buy by the case for a backyard bbq and it's fine that way.

Nice beige foam and a semi-foggy copper body, the nose is all tin and floral caramel. Flavour is chewy biscuit and sweet malt. Mouthfeel is unremarkable and there's a caramelly aftertaste. Subpar for sure.

12 oz. can purchased at Total Wine & Liquor in Colorado Springs, CO. Pours a clear copper color with a large khaki nitro-like head and great retention. Good lacing. Strong caramel malt aroma. Sweet caramel malt flavor dominates. Clean and smooth. Low carbonation, medium body. Very Vienna lager-like. Repeatable and good.

On tap. Pours a cloudy gold with particles that slowly sink to the bottom and a medium, creamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Mild aroma of grainy wheat malt, banana, orange peel and faint coriander. Sweet flavour of grainy wheat malt, orange peel, coriander, yeast and banana with a dry finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Easy to drink, but a little dull.
