Pours a hazed golden-orange colour with a smaller warm head, mid-stay and some light lacing. Aromas of citrus with lots of oranges at first, but then some diacetyl action comes along. Could be just a boost of caramel malt in the back, but feels buttery as well. I will let this slide as the taste is quite good and not showing the butterscotch notes. Just nicely juicy, kind of New England style IPA. Not too bitter, but well-dried. Pretty good overall.

Can from the LCBO. Slightly hazy pale amber under a small short lived white head. Nose is tropical fruit, lime, caramel, light green apple, some pineapple. Flavour follows with a light caramel sweetness and a medium tropical fruit bitterness. Mouth is medium slick with a average carbonation and a tart fruit finish. 8/3/7+/4/15

First what the heck is Cartoonkhaki talking about in the review bwlow mine? Taste is subjective sure, but this is not remotely golden. I'm guessing he's picked the wrong better. This west coast red ale is a amber with decent showing of off white head. Mild malt noise with resin hops. Taste presents very similar, mild caramel malt up front then sting reisin and pine that builds toward then end, then lingers, really lingers. The balance for this beer seem a bit off, and not much in the way of subtlety, but passible.

Pours a light golden colour with a white cap and minimal lace. Slightly hazy, so I guess we did not get the total unfiltered beauty. Yeast nose with hints of peaches. Yeasty flavours with very mild malts and not much hops to balance things for the style. Not very Saison-like, just a yeasty beer. Wish we could of tasted the unfiltered-looking juice like the video on their site. Cask would of probably be better for this one.

0,473 l can bought at a LCBO in Mississauga. Unclear mid golden in the glass, small head. Low floral fruity on the nose. Taste starts with a mid floral bitterness. Increasing bitterhop and straw, less fruity in the second part, orange. Some malt in the background. Fresh hop bitterness in the aftertaste. Interesting interpretation of a Kölsch. Could have been a Pale Ale.

Canned, from LCBO. Hazy amber, rich head. Caramelly grapefruit aroma. Mid sweet with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Some grapefruit, quite a lot of caramel. Mid bitter finish.

Pours a pretty clean amber colour (a little hazy by the end) with a big frothy beige head, very good retention and foamy lacing. Grassy aromas with some caramel and fruity malts. Hoppy taste with a little dryness in the finish over some fruity red ale malts. Mild citrus and grass lingers. Did not like the hops in their first one - Absent Landlord, but the one here really works out. Glad they’re on the right path.
