Big bottle with flip top, from the LCBO. Pours a clean golden colour with a big white bubbly head that stays long and creates good lacing. Beautiful fresh hop aromas with notes of citrus, spices and yeast. Very smooth mouthfeel with no traces of burn (alcohol is very well-blended). Citrus taste with oranges, grapefruits, limes. Nice grass, spices and hints licorice. What a great brew from Muskoka (which seems to be adding better and better beers all the time - seasonals). Keep it up !

Bottle: Poured a clear yellow color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma consists of herb and grass with nice floral touch with some spices also noticeable. Taste is a nice mix between some floral and herbal notes with a semi-sweet malt backbone with some spices with peppery notes to it. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Interesting though maybe a tad too much of spices to drink on a regular basis.

THere’s a lot of hype over this one but I don’t think it’s that justified. It’s alright for Ontario but pretty weak for a Belgian. Alcohol smells strong though not as much in the taste. No lacing. On tap at barVolo.

Aromas are very hoppy with lemon and grapefruit accents. Strong and pleasant noze. Long lasting creamy head that sticks on glass. Gold color. Lightly cloudy. The attack is full grapefruit with very strong bitterness; just the way I like it. Very round and oily texture. Finish is bitter; hops are doing the job. Excellent IPA

Draught, Winking Judge. Light amber with a gentle sparkle. Decent head. Very earthy, mushroomy hop nose. Earthy with some slight caramelly character and crystal malt.

500mL can, sent from wilco (thanks Mike), pours a hazy golden with a big white head. Aroma of piney hops, slight citrus notes and a crackery malt backing that is well-pronounced. Flavour brings out citrusy and piney hops mainly, with a slight herbal quality, with a thin crackery malt backing simply for balance. Easy drinking and refreshing, though nothing overly impressive.

750mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks Mike), pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of sweet syrupy malts, dough, candied sugar and light spices. Flavour resembles this, with sweet candied sugar, dough, syrup, slight spice and Belgian yeast. ABV is well-hidden. Not very complex and quite simplistic, and also quite sweet. Decent.

473ml can, sampled at 9.1 celcius. Modest head, light gold body with small carbonation bubbles. Sweet hops aroma, fresh and sugary. Flavour is standard IPA with a slight dry lager finish. Balanced and average, decent, not exceptional, nor complex.

From my delightful parents who got this in Ottawa: Pours golden with a white head. Aroma has berries, a bit of Belgian yeast, no hops, and some sugar. Taste is slightly sweet. The plethora of ingredients does not really come through for me. Instead, I get something pretty good: a light, but full, Belgian ale that tastes like something with a fraction of the alcohol. If I was drinking this blindly, I would have almost had thought that this was a Belgian "single." All the flavors are nice, but they are exceedingly subdued. I enjoyed this, and at my second glass, I think I feel a buzz coming on.
