Very nice and very easy drinking. Dark red/orange. Aroma included some apples and some sweet malt. Nice hoppiness and mild residual bitterness. It disappeared really fast. A good sign indeed.

Bottle. Cloudy amber/orange. Refreshing, hop aromas with accents of pineapple and melon. Somewhat fruity flavour and pleasant-but-average palate creates a nice experience but needs more malt and depth to take things to the next level.

Amber colour with a generous, rocky head. It is malty and slightly grapefruity bitterness. Very pleasant beer.

Bottle from the LCBO. Amber body with a small creamy white head. Grapefruit vomit aroma - WTF? Something else I don’t feel like deciphering after the first impression. Moderate bitterness, grapefruit, sweet malt undertones. Average palate. Weird. Flavour is much better than the aroma, but is still just okay. It is possible this is a bit off, but I’m not sure how.

0.5 l bottle. Slightly hazy dark amber color with small head. Sweet and sour aroma with flowery and fruity hops as well as wild yeast. Sour, bitter, fruity, biscuity and berryish flavor with horsey notes of brettanomyces wild yeast. The wild yeast character might not be intentional but fits fairly well to this beer.

Deep amber with a nice, golden head and good lace. The aroma is perfumes and fruity and i get a note of resin. The mouthfeel is smooth. The flavour has notes of roasted malt, fruit (peach, lime and others), very light sweetness and a nice bitter finish. A really nice beer.

Tasted in Toronto. Obtained from LCBO as part of their winter warmer series. Tasted in English pint glass. Pours a cloudy orange colour with sustained white fluffy head. Aroma is very breadlike, somewhat soapy and yeasty. Flavour is nice, subtle muted. Quite nice.

500ml Bottle: Pours orange/amber in colour, very thick and foamy off-white head with great lacing and retention. The aroma is mild, sweet, and grassy, pale hops. The taste is initially strange only because it’s so light and watery, albeit not in a bad way. It’s very refreshing, with a good touch of bitter hops. A bit bready and dry, but goes down smooth and easy. I actually quite like this one, I can imagine it would be incredible as a summer refresher. Too bad we got it in the winter.
