Smells of nice banana and wheat dough esters, has good cloudy gold body with modest foam. Flavour is good banana character with soft wheat grain hints. Mouthfeel is crisp and good dry grains linger. It's standard but well crafted, probably their best beer.

Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5
Aroma of rich malts and cloying sweet hops, has soft clear copper body with little foam. Flavour is heavy malts and orangey hops rather heavy together. Mouthfeel is full enough. There's very little attention to detail here.

Aroma is soft candied orange and vague sweet hops. Has clearish gold with a tiny foam body. Flavour is okay malt and orangey hops, balanced. Has decent oiliness and carbonation crispness. It's a decent enough pale ale though quite standard.

Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5
Smells oc soft ginger ale and floor cleaner. Has clear gold body with little foam. Flavour is soft sweet ginger ale some vague hops. Crisp enough mouthfeel. It's boring and awkward, missing some enviable aspects of a pilsner.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5.5
On nitro at the Lumsden. Pours black. Chocolate, smoke, cigarettes, sour cherry, strong blackcurrant, burnt wood. Quite thin body. Too much tobacco and smoke, and that sour blackcurrant stuff doesn't play well with it.
