Another limited release from Granville Island, for autumn. This has a nice amber colour - darker than GI’s IPA - and a medium-sized white head. Aroma and taste clearly show the mal, with an undercurrent of hop. Very nice. In fact, MUCH nicer than the muck that GI turns out as their "year ’round" offerings. They could make ALL their beer this good if they wanted to.

Bright orange in colour with thick white head. Clovey abd hoppy, hint of ginger. Smooth body but short mouthfeel.

Pours a pale gold with a decent white head with decent retention. Aroma is floral hops and pilsener malting. Has that skunky noble-hop flavour which I seem to find more often in bottled Euro-lagers. Bland, sweet malt and not much else going on. Plenty of carbonation and a pinched, thin body. Not my favourite style, not my favourite example. Drinkable, though.

pours a clear orange color. aroma is a caramel creamy vanilla, hard to put a finger on, but very pleaant. Taste is more muted.

Another one of the better Granville Island beers. A touch on the sweet side but generally balanced. I neither love it nor hate it.

Bottle. Malts are bready malt, and fairly sweet. Finish shows some grassy hop notes. Full bodied for a lager, and fairly crisp.

A Mes rate: Bottle at Chris O’s extravaganza. Yeasty hoppy aroma with a little spice. Muddy amber colour. Flavour is very hoppy with plenty of fruit. Slight toffee notes too. Just very slightly one dimensional for me.
