2007 version. Yellowish amber color. Medium head. Soft malts and mild English hops. Medium bodied. Soft on the palate, possibly due to the water used to make it. Candy sugar and a bit of citrus and pine to dry it out. Overall a pretty mild easy drinking beer.

Poured this 2007 edition into a nonick pint on 12-05-07. 2 knuckle off white ead and a nice orange amber color. Floral grass and pine hops along with malt to the nose. First taste is Light floral, citrus (mostly lemon), and pine. Aftertaste is piney. A creamy medium body with pleasant carbonation. The aroma led me to think this would be hoppier. Still good! As it warms the piney a citrus really come out.

Pours a light amber. Aroma of malts with hints of apple and clove. Malty flavor balanced by hop bitterness. Hints of brown sugar and cinnamon. Lingering alcohol finish.

I tried this beer on December 22, 2007 after purchasing my local LCBO outlet. The beer poured a beautiful translucent pale red colour with a generous off-white head that disipates into ricky islands. The aroma is primarily malty with some sweet adjucts as well. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, creamy, and mildly carbonated. The flavout is primarily malt with some hop bitterness attached

A very sweet ale with an amber pour. The flavor tasted like a caramel-covered Granny Smith apple.

Bottle - LCBO Summerhill- Grand big head, wonderful hop/malt aroma with a tiny elbow of kiwi. A unique, malt-hop flavour that is not matched with many other beers, a medium dry finish, enjoyable
