| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Oct 2, 2008 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."

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. AWS9 (233), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 11, 2008 Updated: Aug 17, 2008341 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. gilvanblight (397), Windsor, Ontario, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 20, 2008 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. cyrenaica (440), Milton, Ontario, Canada

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.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 22, 2008 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. JesseM (681), Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 19, 2008 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.
