Can from the lcbo slightly hazy pale yellow, with barley any head. Aroma is soft pale malted wheat, and some nice coriander. Nice mouthfeel solid carb. Finish is low on the bitterness scale, and a lovely blend of wheat and coriander and light citrus at the end. It looks terrible but turned out to taste very good.

500ml bottle shared at the DCBeer February share. Poured a dark cola, light plum brown color with a small off-white head. Aroma was big apple brandy, brandy, sweet dried fruits. Flavor was sweet toasted malt, sweet malt, huge brandy barrels. Would like to see how this one ages.
