Bottle from Halifax Beer Factory, Halifax. Hazed golden-yellow with a carbonation and a small head. Lemon is dominant in its aroma, with a dryish wheat texture. Lemon is again dominant in its taste with the ginger more prevalent in its aftertaste. There’s a light banana influence too.

Bottle that Jim shared- cheers! It’s a very pale hazy gold colour. It tastes of wheat and lemon; I’m not really getting the ginger that’s meant to be there. It’s on the thin side but that works with the beer in this case and just makes it more refreshing. I like it- it’s just the sort of beer you’d want on a hot day, or as a mid-session refresher at a beer festival.
