Bottle: Poured a murky dirty beige color ale with a medium foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of light earthy hops is mildly satisfying. Taste is dominated by light grainy malt notes with floral and earthy hops notes – I would wish hops presence would have been more dominant. Body is fuller then average with good carbonation. Not bad considering some of the crap brewed by this brewer but again not really good compared to some other harvest ale out there.

Dec 22, 2009 Murky orange, thin white head, light lacing.
Aroma is lightly hoppy, floral, grainy, soapy.
Flavour is again much like the aroma but with some less hops, light sweetness.
Bitter mouth, light body, med carb.
Finishes lightly bitter, lingering.
Not all that hoppy but it’s still drinkable.
650ml bottle purchased at the LCBO in Peterborough, Ontario.
Opened on October 3, 2009.
Bottled on September 21, 2009.

Dec 19, 2009 Pours a cloudy straw yellow with a white head and good lacing. Aroma is hop and intense citrus. Taste starts very nice with a good hop bitterness but the citrus aftertaste is so intense that it destroys the pleasant hoppiness. Need to stop trying to offset the hop flavour with citrus.

Nov 27, 2009 650 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours a hazy gold with small white head. Fairly light nose with earthy, citrus hops. Flavour is pleasantly hoppy with a decent citric finish. A little flat. Not bad, but I remember being much more impressed when I had it on tap.

Nov 22, 2009 Golden brown with almost no head. Tropical fruit aroma, some cereal malts as well. Some grassy and citric hops, but primarily a clean bitter beer with little actual hop flavor.

Nov 7, 2009 A hazed golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, rather herbal hops with notes of cinnamon, lemon. In mouth, a malty ale with catnip herbal hops, a bit of Brett and funk, not bad. However, this is one of the ugliest label on a beer. Tasted Nov. 5 2009 with GRM and Mike H.
