Dec 22, 2005 Fresh, citrusy, orange blossom, floral, hop forward aroma with some underlying grainy malt character. Hazy amber tan coloured body with a low white head that recedes to a thin but persistent cover and ring with some fine lacing. Moderately bitter in the mouth with herbal, leafy, floral, citrus-orange hops and some underlying fresh, sweet, toasty and biscuity malt character. Medium light body is refreshing with lively effervesence to keep the tongue involved. I could easily imagine having many pints of this. Sampled on tap at the brewpub with beerbuzzmontreal, MartinT, muzzlehatch, Rastacouere and Yowie.

Dec 21, 2005 Nicely unfiltered hazy orange with a light white cover. Hoppy nose retaining hallmarks of C-hops, yet with lean malt backings. Leafy in mouth with a surprising mellow alcohol touch that warms the senses. Crisp texture blends in remarkably with the genuinely toasted feel. Light and soft bodied. Floral and leafy moreso than purely bitter, but the hop aromatics do work well in this surprising lager.

Dec 5, 2005 The Lure:
C-hops float atop the fresh malt biscuits. Oranges and citrus fruit are slowly candied, and flowers emerge diplomatically.
The Festivities:
Gorgeous biscuity malts create impressive balance with the citrusy, flowery hops. This hoppiness continues into an aftertaste which is never agressive and commends quaffing. An expansive flavor display amidst soothing drinkability.
Transcendence:
A set of comfy cushions.

Dec 5, 2005 Pours a cloudy amber color with a thin white head. Good aroma of fruits, hops and malt. The flavor is good with a nice balance between the malt and hops, it’s fruity too, the finish is bitter. The palate is light and creamy and the carbonation is soft. A good, well-balanced lager.

Apr 5, 2005 Light sweet beany malt aroma. Good hops note, fruity but not harsh. A smooth lager aroma. Reddish amber clear with off-white creamy thin lacing head. Light to medium watery body with mild-medium carbonation. Starts with medium sweetness, light malt. Caramel and toasty notes. Watery profile, light but not quite crisp in taste. Fruity finish with good bittering. Mild nutty bitter after. A decent lager.
