robinvboyer (997), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Aug 25, 2008 growler from the brewery. Nice bright golden pour, with a small white head. Aroma is quite grainy, with lots of corn, and some sweet malt. Flavour is again quite grainy, with some big corn notes, with a touch of hops in the end. A good session ale. Spab (49), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 7, 2008 341 bottle from retail store. Pours light gold with a thin white head that disappeared rapidly. Fruity aroma with some wheat as well. Some fruit flavour as well the malts coming on later. Not bad, though I recall enjoying it a little more on draught. CanadaCam (109), Canada Oct 6, 2007 Draught. Pours with a bland blonde colour and a half-decent head. A tinge of fruity flavour and a clean finish. VeloVampire (387), Parkdale, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 9, 2007 Updated: Sep 12, 2007341 ml bottle - pours light gold with a big though rapidly depleting white head. Nice fruity, grainy aroma. Good quality rye-grainy taste along with some sourness. A very slight chocolate presence as well, followed but a bit of breadiness and a mild bitter finish. Not hugely complex, but very enjoyable. Greater than the sum of its parts. piscator34 (905), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Aug 18, 2007 Bottled sample via gregclow. Golden in colour with medium carbonation. Odd aromas of wet grains and some kind of melon. Even more strange in the mouth with more of the melon thing working in tandem with some slightly sour citrus flavors. A bit of icing sugar sweet malt flavor is there too, along with some earthy hop bitterness. I’m not too sure what to make of it, but the flavors just weren’t working for me.
