| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 8/20 | Dec 4, 2009 On tap. Gold with pretty nice foamy white head. Sweet, corny, hop aroma. Creamy, malt mouthfeeld, mild hops, hint of ginger spice... Rubbery finish that ruins everything, agh! Disappointing. JoeMcPhee (5030), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Tap at the Black Tomato, Ottawa. Hazy amber pour with a thick fluffy yellowish head. The nose is light caramelly with a pronounced fruity apricoty sweetness. The beer is quite light bodied but there is enough light caramel sweetness and fruity hoppiness toward the finish to keep it fairly interesting. It’s a pretty nice, light sessionable brew, really. Much better than I expected based on the trainwreck that is their Lugtread. MrManning (1659), London, Ontario, Canada

Nice lace. malty nose is earthy, with caramel, some floral notes, dark bread, quite nutty too. Tastes of sweet toasty malts, caramel, some dark sweet fruit, with a very nice fresh hop presence. Quite bitter on the finish with a fresh hoppy linger. Creamy and very drinkable. Excellent. robinvboyer (1444), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 29, 2008 Draught sample at 2008 Golden Tap Awards. Listed as "Festivale Plus", but it appears that a keg mix-up meant that Volo got the Plus version and beerbistro got the regular. Clear, deep amber with a wispy head. Aroma is malt forward, a bit woody and nutty, with some mild citrus notes. Flavour starts with sweet malt, a bit of brown sugar, with quick bitterness coming through in the finish. Not bad.
