On tap at Goose Island Toronto, pours a hazy dull golden orange with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of orange rinds, pithy stone fruits, and caramel malt. Flavour is chaotic, with pithy stone fruits, orange rinds, orange creamsicle, and caramel malt. Where are the hops? This isn’t good.

On tap at Goose Island Toronto, pours a lightly hazed orange amber with a small white head. Aroma has some spicy, resinous hops, earthy notes, and toasted caramel malt. Flavour is full of bitter orange rinds, resinous notes, and big malty bready notes. Tons of bitter orange rinds on the finish. Awkward hop expression and strangely balanced but it somehow comes together. Decent.

On nitro tap at Goose Island Toronto, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma has notes of oats, light vanilla, and cocoa—very faint though. Flavour has plenty of vanilla upfront, obscured by the nitrogenation, with light cocoa and toasted marshmallow. Not a fan of the nitro treatment, but it’s not like there’s a complex beer under here. Inoffensive but unexciting.

On tap at Goose Island Toronto, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma has some spicy, grassy hops, some floral dry-hopping, and cries biscuity malt. Flavour is deficient in hops, with gentle red berry fruitiness and light minerality. Low hops, not much malt structure. Pretty weak.

Draft at Goose Island Toronto. Slightly hazed orange gold pour. Finger high white head. Nice lacing. Subtle tropical fruit aroma. Flavor is bittersweet citrus with notes of grapefruit, lemon and mango. Definitely a hop forward brew. Brief dry finish.
