Apr 3, 2008 Bottle: Orange-amber under a small frothy head. Lively carbonation. Good lacing. Powerful citrussy hop aroma with floral and buiscutty notes. Some pale malts and nuts with orange zest. Long dry-bitter finish. Fantastic.

Apr 1, 2008 Hazy light copper, white head, medium lacing. Flowery aroma of hops. Medium body with strong carbonation for the style. Too dry flowery grapefruit hops dominate the flavor.

Mar 31, 2008 Citrus in the nose, balanced hoppiness that opens to a clean and crisp, mildly-malty American Pale. One of the best examples of this style of beer out there.

Mar 31, 2008 Updated: Aug 31, 2008LCBO bottle. Murky Gold with thick white head that coats glass as it thins. Nice hoppy aroma. Very dry, bitter, bubbly hoppy, almost creamy taste. Very dry bitter after-taste. Inconsistent taste as I am finding with some of the bitter hop ales (Rogue Brutal comes to mind). Last few I’ve had have blended well.

Mar 27, 2008 Beer pours a cloudy gold with a thin head. Smells of hops and citrus. Finishes fruiy with a nice bitterness. Not too bitter, but just right. Good stuff.

Mar 25, 2008 650mL bottle from the LCBO. Pours gold. Nice white head. Very malty and very well balanced. I’d happily drink it anytime. My mother says it’s reminiscent of Molson Golden as it was 25 years ago.

Mar 25, 2008 Fairly light orange-copper pour and nice little foamy head. Orange, hops, and a little metallic bite on the nose. Nice hop bitterness and great lingering flavor. This beer just screams freshness to me, which is why I like it so much. Probably also some sense memory in that it was the first beer that took me beyond the big guys (Sam Adam’s, Pete’s Wicked) when I first started drinking beer 10 years ago. This was the one that made me really start paying attention. Great beer.
