Single can from the LCBO (4.5% ABV.). Pours a very slight hazy, rich golden colour (with almost an amber hue). The head gets pretty creamy, off-white, lasts pretty long and has good amounts of lace. Toasted malt aromas, quite grainy with some fruity notes. The first sip had this rusty water taste from the hops, which I never like in any beers. Thankfully, it goes away after a while. The grassy hops are quite nice after that, over some cereal malts that linger together. Makes a decent session ale with big flavours.

On tap at the Ottawa Beerfest. 4.6% an opaque copper pour. It has quite an earthy malt aroma medium bodium with a smooth mouthfeel. The taste is satisfyingly earthy light fruit notes and has a crisp bitter finish. Nothing to write home about but it is a satisfying ale.

Can. A really nice glowing amber pour with a thick foamy light beige head. Spicy malts, possibly rye & spelt, soft cocoa & citrusy lemon hop notes. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel & a sharp finish. The taste is a clean bitterness, nutty caramel malts & lots of lemony citrus hops.

Pours a clear copper appearance with a tan head. Dull caramel, toasted bready, mild white fruity aroma. Moderate to high sweetness. Dull bitterness. Slightly burnt flavor with a bit caramel. Not overly complex but fairly clean.

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks kerenmk. Slightly hazy amber. Aroma of floral and citric hops, kinda stale, with a bit of diacetyl, some malt, caramel and fruits. Flavor has some sweetish malt, caramel, a biscuity and toasty note and some hop bitterness, a bit citric, a bit stale. Medium-bodied.
