Sampled at the 2009 Canada's Cup of Beer at UBC. Pours a dark amber. Mouthful is quite watery and a bland malt flavour. Barely drinkable.

Can: Poured a light amber color ale with a medium foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma of light citrus hops with medium sweet caramel malt. Taste is blander then expected with light hoppy notes of citrus with a sweeter then expected malt backbone. Body is a bit thin with good carbonation. Not very remarkable overall.

Draught at The Railway Club, Vancouver
Blond color, thin creamy head. Light aroma. But the flavor is quite interesting, not bad at all, a Lager with light residual sugars and some cereals.

Hazy blonde. Peach, bread, diacetyl in the aroma. Very light body and flavour. Some mild bread and yeastiness. Only hints at spice, and there’s hardly any fruit at all. In my experience, you need to shove a whole peach tree into a brew to get any flavour out of those things, so this isn’t too big a surprise.
