Enjoyed with PaleAleRider at the Ottawa brewpub. Pours a light hazy reddish colour with an orange hue, creamy lacing and average retention. Yeasty nose with some good sourness from the raspberry tartiness. Fruity background with Belgian Ale yeast. The taste is mild with hardly any sourness that was found in the nose. Watery raspberry, not even sweet. Slight tart, but mostly wet mouthfeel. Great smelling fruit beer with a little too light in the flavour department. Still, refreshing for summer.

Pretty foul tasting red. Cream ales really shouldn’t be so astringent. Pours red with good creamy head and lacing. Aroma has malt and metallic astringency. Had this on tap at Dundas location.

The server explained to me that this one was not so much carbonated, which seems to be the difference with their normal "Red Cream Ale" which has nitro. Asked to see if it was cask, but not sure of the answer (or if he knew what I meant). This one is the June beer in Ottawa. Pours a clean deep amber colour with a mild creamy beige head, average retention and a little lace. Light fruity aromas, but surprised to not smell hops or anything else. Not much carbonation, smooth mouthfeel. Fruity mild malt flavours with a quick finish and a tad of hops in the aftertaste, creating a very light dryness. Nothing bad here, but not much attack (brewed for the mass market). Gets better as you go. Would be a good session red ale. Note: seems like the Toronto peeps have the nitro version (judging from these past reviews).

Enjoyed at the Ottawa brewpub with PaleAleRider. Pours a clean amber colour with a creamy light-beige head and lacing. Beautiful perfumy nose with orange notes and grain eventually comes out. Spices also appear after breathing. Fruity malt taste with hints of bubblegum and very tame hops. Quite refreshing and interesting, different seasonal spring beer, with lots of fruits and perfumes. A lovely brew that makes the winter chills go away, and welcome the sun.
