Nov 2, 2009 Volo Cask Days 2009. Very hazy golden pour, looks like a belgian wit. Aroma is quite hoppy,and grassy. Flavor is odd though, there is a big green tea note, and some more grassy hops. interestng beer, but not great.

Nov 1, 2009 Cask Days 2009 @ Bar Volo, Toronto, ON: Hands down the surprise of othe festival. Pours hazy light yellow, only slightly darker than a Hoegaarden or similar, good white head atop. Aroma is way different from the regular King Pilsner - sour, citrusy, and bready. Taste of lemon, yeast, and crisp hops. Barely reminiscent of the also-great King Pilsner, but a tremendous beer in its own right. Kudos!

Jun 20, 2009 Draught at C’est What Spring Festival. Pours a slightly hazy yellow gold with tiny white cap. Light grassy aroma with odd undertone. Taste starts full and grassy giving way to nice long bitter finish. Not sure exactly what to think - I’d like to revisit this one.

Jan 12, 2009 [1753-20081003] Tap. Dry straw mild aroma. Hazy, light orange body with quick white bubbles. Lots of bready yeast in the flavour with toasted hoppy straw and a weird evergreen aftertaste. Medium body. Average.

Nov 17, 2008 Cask. At Volo Cask Days 2008. Hazy yellow with an average white head. Floral/cereal aroma, quite hoppy-bitter with some cloying sweetness. Tastes of buttery grain and intense dry green hops - not blended or smooth at all, but interesting. Thick mouthfeel, solidly astringent, longish bitter grassy finish, not as cloying as the aroma implied - solid: I will have to revisit the original King Pils (I hated it on first/second/third try).

Oct 21, 2008 Sample at C’est What Fall Fest - slightly hazy burnished gold-green. Aroma immensely perfumey, nice Saaz, and yeast too, all light and intensely enticing. Not hugely complex in flavour, but quite a bit of subtlety in there - seemed to lack the diacetyl aspect I get i the regular (filtered, unhopped-up) King pils. Again, gentle flowery hops. If this was a regular tap offering, it would be something I’d order often. Well-done.
