Can from the LCBO. Clear pale gold with a two finger white head that fades to a sheet leaving spotty lace. Nose is lemon zest, ginger, lavender and grains. Light lemon tartness at the fore leading into a light grassy bitterness and ginger through the finish. Mouth is slightly thin and sticky with soft carbonation and a crisp finish. Refreshing.

Looking forward to this one! Can from the brewery. Pour is a light blonde with thick white head that disappears. Nose is a light funk. This being only a 3.8%, it did feel a little thin, but that's almost to be expected. Really nice, fresh light crispness with some funkiness. Flavors of apricots some dirty socks over a very light straw malt. For a session beer, it's really quite nice, don't expect a meaty, aserbic Berliner, you'll be disappointed. I appreciate the lack of fruit.

Deeply hoppy, as one would expect. Perfume, resin, with some notable bittering at the end. All over a sweet malt base. It's good. Can LCBO

This ipa poured a cloudy, orange/yellow with a creamy white head. Nice lacing. Scents include tea, pineapple and citrus. First swig was smooth and creamy with flavours of pineapple, grass, citrus and cream. Finish is all fruit and lightly bitter.
