Description
We’ve always relied on our wits to give us an edge. We tried things others wouldn’t and refused to let being smaller keep us from thinking big. To become masters of our craft, we had to be pretty darned crafty. This spirit is at the heart of everything we do—and in every drop we brew.

Clean, deeper golden colour, going on the amber side, with a warm-white, frothy head, good stay and a nice thick, foamy lace ring. A malty nose with good cereal notes, a touch of sweetness and hints of hops. A smooth, almost silky mouthfeel with just enough dryness in the end. The flavours show again grainy, slightly sweet maltiness with a tad apples, hoppiness. An actual decent, stronger, malty beer that shows better ingredients, less adjuncts, than the bigger breweries.

Can from the LCBO.
Faintest hue of yellow, with a tiny white head. Zero aroma, other than some lightly faint artificial peach. Carbonated peach water. Not awful, but not beer either.

Light copper pour, with a small white head. Aroma is light lime, and some pale cereals. Mouth feel is watery, finish is very very light, to be expected, lime notes, with a soft sweetness. Not entirely awful, decent for what it is.
