Golden-amber with a thin head and nice sparkle. Full malty aroma with light caramel accents. Rich, chewy, with pale munich malt, toasted biscuits and earthy caramel. Dry, woody, earthy finish.

Growler
Appearance :Clear copper look with medium fine top.
Nose :Full of high alpha hops , citric with hint of sweet mango, slight earthy sides.
Flavour/Palate: Fairly light bodied . Malt base is totally covered with green, wet hops. Recommended to taste as last beer of session coz it will kill your palate.

A golden lager with a thick lacing white head. A crisp caramel malt aroma with light restrained hops, lightly floral. In mouth, a smooth crisp malt, with light chalkyness, and sustained British hops. Medium bodied. On tap at Wellington Gastropub, Sept. 30 2008, 5.50$ pint.

Draught. At Volo. Bright refractive gold, average white head. Sweet grainy mildly yeasty aroma, like a grainy pils, mild. Oddly salty taste, decent grainy malt body, herbal/floral fairly harsh hops , nothing special. Body is on the thin side, mildly astingent and carbonated, surprisingly long bitter finish. A bit harsh, but full-flavoured and a lot of hops. Let’s not get crazy here, this is just another freakin’ run-of-the-mill lager, just cleaner and no corn or other crap in it.

Sampled at the brewery and a growler enjoyed watching a softball tournament at Budd Park in Kitchener. Golden amber body with a huge creamy white head that does not cease to impress - incredible head retention. Hoppy aroma is grassy, over lightly toasty malt. Pleasant grassy hop bitterness with the very lightest note of lemon. Supportive malt provides excellent balance throughout. Average palate is appropriately carbonated with a pleasant mouthfeel. Quite drinkable.
