Can from the brewery. Pours a hazy pink, with a small pinkish off white head. Aroma is tart cranberry, and light raspberry, with some light lactic notes. Mouth feel is very thin, carb is fine. Finish is just a bit tart, far from sour, light fruit, random berry flavour, tartness from the cranberries saves the beer. Overall pretty watery, and bland.

Can from the brewery. Slightly hazy orange pour, with a large white head. Fruity nose, citrus zest, great malty backbone. Great mouth feel, carb is perfect. Finish is low to medium bitterness, pithy bitterness, light pine, and more citrus zest. Decent, better than expected.

Can from the brewery. Hazy yellow, large white head. Aroma is grassy, mated wheat, lemon zest. Mouth feel. Is muddled, carb is too soft. Finish is medium bitter, light spice, but lacks brightness, feels muddled, not clean or crisp, wheat dominated and beats everything down.

Can from the lcbo. Slightly. Hazy golden pour, with a large white head. Hops are faint but grassy, crisp cereals, some minerals and light yeast. Crisp mouth feel, solid carb. Finish is quite bitter for the style, hints of pine, nice cereals quite nice, but the style should be changed to kolsch.

Can from the LCBO down in Toronto. Nice to see my cottage local with a couple of labels down here. Pours a decent blonde with minimal head. Taste is primarily into the bittering hops, with a little resin, and a touch of perfume. All over a fairly neutral, slightly sweet malt with notes of honey. Bitterness lingers, not unpleasantly, but it smooth out as you empty the pint. Not bad. Just a side note. RobinV, who's reviews I always find so helpful, clearly is trying something very different from what I purchased. I'm not sure why.
