Commercial Description:
Formerly known as Sparkling Ale (6/05)
A golden export-style ale made from only malt and hops, no fillers or adjuncts. A brillant golden colour gives a “sparkling” appearance as the gas escapes from the glass. The natural sweetness of the malt is perfectly balanced by the bitterness derived from the hops. This beer represents the way blonde ales were made 100 years ago.

Draught @ brewpub. Medium golden, clear with 1/2 inch white head. Slightly skanky aroma is sweet with diacetyl. Soft carbonation. Awefully bad. Sweet and nasty, "bordering on horrific" like sour milk. "I’d be doing myself a disservice to drink more."

On tap at the brewpub. Light gold color with almost no head. Faint citrus hop aroma; light and fruity. Amazingly fruity, with cherry and muscat. Sweet, thin, and light. Too fruity. Almost like a soda pop. Not very impressive.

341 mL bottle. Golden pour, with small head that doesn’t stick around, lacing remains. Hoppy scent, a little spicy too actually. I was a little surprised by the hops in this, pretty good amount, with a little malt touch. Average mouthfeel and finish. This is what mainstream brewers SHOULD be making.

Crystal clear yellow gold pour. Nice foamy thick head. Nice lacing. Slightly hoppy scent with a touch of spice. A thicker then expected mouth, slightly sweet at first with a malty finish. A good Mix. This has become on of my favourite session beers.

I tried this beer on July 11, 2008 at “Smokeless Joe’s” in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a medium gold in colour, translucent, with a thin white head. The aroma was malty, with some milky tones backing it up. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, slightly creamy, and medium carbonated. The flavour was malt, milk/cream, and biscuity tastes.

On tap at the brewpub. A pale yellow beer (slightly darker than the organic lager) with a thick white head that lasts. The aroma is quite fruity as room temperatures. This has lots of flavor: I’d say it lies somewhere between a stite and a cream ale. Awesome lacing rings the glass. Lots of honey sweetness makes me like this one even though it is likely intended as a "session" ale.

341mL bottle from the LCBO. Clear bottle which is a little sketchy, but thankfully they seem to be dating them now, and this bottle is fairly fresh, packaged in mid-April. Pours a nice slightly deep gold with a small but rich white head. Aroma is a little odd, funky grainy malts, toffee, cream, with a hint of hops, not unpleasant though. Flavour is surprisingly nice, like a good cream ale in the mouthfeel, and sweet malts that aren’t by any stretch of the imagination cloying, despite the absence of balance. A nice session brew, and I’m pleasantly surprised, as I must admit I wasn’t expecting much, though I should have had more faith as this is from a very solid brewery.
