Very nice pint of pale enjoyed at C’est what, it has good bones and is just a little bit shy on the aroma. Full rounded feel (not sticky sweet) good rounded hop bite, solid feel, balanced and as I said not a ton of aroma. A bit salty, nice. looks a darkish yellow and thick. This one elephant could someday fly.

Oct 31, 2009 [2509-20091002] Tap. Mild bandaid straw aroma. Clear, orange amber body with a quick off-white head. Strawberry and orange Campino flavour is sweeter than creamed corn with a creamy long sweet aftertaste. Medium body is smooth. Weird smooth candy characteristics are not unpleasant.

Oct 23, 2009 Draught at Volo. Pours a slightly hazy orange with a small diminishing white head. Mild aroma is fruity and with light resiny hops and pale malt. Flavour: Smoke? Weird. Mild hops, caramel malt and grain along with smoke and a decent bitter finish. Average bodied. Odd but I liked it.

Oct 5, 2009 On-tap at C’est What. 47 IBU only for an IPA. It is still hoppy, the carbonation is right there, the finish is odd. Orangey colour with some lace. Definite smoke, a touch watery, a mild pleasant aroma.

Oct 5, 2009 on tap at C’est What
Appearance: clear golden with mid carbonation noted. white mid top with some lace presented. 3+
Nose: sweet malts as base to fruity hop character.
Flavor/Palate : smoked ,metallic bit rough front based on thinner malt. This ale becomes smoother as going forward. Smoky feel with metallic and malty blend worked better than you might imagine.

Oct 4, 2009 2009-10-01. Hazy golden yellow body with a modest frothy off-white head. Aroma of cooked corn, grass, other something. Flavour is likewise a bit odd, corn/cooked veg, dry pale malts. odd. Average palate. Poor. Based on other ratings it seems that perhaps this does not travel well? Or maybe its just me today, I don’t know. On tap at C’est What

Sep 30, 2009 1.9L growler thanks to Jimmay, thanks man! Pours a nice bright gold with a large rocky beige head. The aroma is some melon with piney hops riding on smoke which seems to work somehow. Nice. Flavour starts out very astringent and dry on the palate, nice hoppy bitterness and citrus, making way for the unintended smokey element which I find somehow fits and actually compliments the hops. Huh, weird, go figure, I’m enjoying this infamous off flavour from this brewery. Decent malt backbone but this one is all about the hops and the smoke. I really like it, this is a very tasty beer and I wish I had more than just one growler!
