500ml bottle. Hazy orange color. Nice fluffy head. Nice aroma of goldings and light bready notes. Flavour is nice and hoppy with a good amount of malty breadiness to balance it out. Wow a super balanced beer, exremely drinkable.

500ml bottle from the LCBO.
Nice golden/brownish pour, with a good white head, and some nice lacing. Aroma is very very nice, a good mix of english hops, and some very nice caramel/fruity malts. Flavour is very nice, lots of good hops, i love the subtle but full bodied english hops in a good bitter. A great bitter finish, a great example of the style. Amazing session ale.
