cask. Volo. golden body, frothy white head looks nice and lasts for a long while. Floral aroma with mild hops. Creamy body. Nice bitterness throughout with a lingering leafy hop finish. some sweet malt in the middle. Pretty decent PA but not particularly interesting.

Draft at Volo, in the good company of hogtownharry. Arrived a hazed amber coor with a tiny head and spots of lace. Seet, fruity malts in the english style, even a bit of smokiness and noticible dusty hops. Dry, dusty flavor and a bit watery, odd compared to the rather bold aroma, with little sweetness except just a touch that emerges midway and leading into an astrigent herbal hop finish. Lifth to medium body and little to no carbonation. Not really my style and just under average overall.

Dry Hopped cask @ Winking Judge in Hamilton, ON Inviting sweet nose - light grassiness & citrus, nice malt. Hops are very well balanced with a strawberry-esque malt. Good stuff.

On tap at the Winking Judge in Hamilton, Ontario. Pours with little head and a darker amber body. Aroma has malt all over it, and in the taste there is a slight hops bitterness. Finish is clean and crisp, with a nice bite in the throat. Decent.

Bottle. Amber color, off white head. Mild aroma of some malt and some spicy hops. Similar flavor, but mild again. Thinner body, slightly astringent. I see others have tried it on cask and I’m guessing I’d like it better on cask as well. In a bottle it’s inoffensive but kind of boring.

Amber color. Malty, light hop aroma. Hops really kick in in the palate - piney hop taste, semi sweet malty body. Great, long bitter palate. Very nice beer.

Dark copper/amber poured w/ no head. Mildy fruity, malty aroma w/ light hop. Medium body. Lightl caramel flavour w/ a meaty/roasty presence. Moderately hoppy finish.
