| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Mar 22, 2009 On tap at Jack Russells Brewpub. Golden colour with a thin white head. Sweet and sour aroma. Reminds me of Crab, lobster, toilet water, dishwasher water. The flavour is blah with hints of citrus. Sour ale. as you can tell I didn’t enjoy this one. MartinT (5055), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 9, 2006 Any first impressions?
-A thick head collapses onto hazy deep golden.
-Timidity is a burden for the citrusy hops and their wooden dryness.
-A clean maltiness produces honeyed grain in a not too expressive flavor profile.
-The soft carbonation lets you feel the malt adequately.
What if you dig deeper?
-Chalky dryness is found in the back, which is barely hopped, apparently.
-Apricot-like fruitiness helps the quenching factor.
-Bready notes are later discovered after much searching in the aroma.
-This felt like a styleless strong blond ale, which has nothing especially wrong with it, but which got seriously boring before the halfway mark in the pint.
On tap at the brewery restaurant.
