May 30, 2008 This was a great beer, I dont know why but I was always a skeptic of "good" Canadian brew- shows what I know. It poured a hazey, clouded over golden colour with a big white head. aromas were sweet of nectarines, oranges and other decidious fruits. Very creamy mouthfeel. The head kept coming back. Great beer.

May 29, 2008 Golden honey-blond and hazy with a thick white head. Aroma is pleasantly fruity. Apples, pears, pineapple, honeydew melon. A little bit of hops. The flavor is pleasant and understated. Some banana and nutmeg. Extremely drinkable. Loved it.

May 29, 2008 Pours yellowish/ goldenish, and cloudy. Smells um... stereotypical. The flavor is sweet and fruity. Later in the drink it tastes soapy and spicy but in a good way. Mildly citric with yeasts.

May 29, 2008 Aroma is grainy. Appearance is hazy golden, Flavor is pretty straight forward. Heavy and sweet initially and then just seconds later nothing on the palate and just a little burn in the throat. Ultimately, not too shabby.

May 28, 2008 Updated: Jun 6, 2008Cloudy, hazy off yellow appearance with sediment. Heavy cream head that dissipates somewhat slowly. Nice lacing.
The initial attack is of yeast, over ripe apricot, some wood and light fruit. Though I tasted some mild soapiness, perhaps a breakdown of fatty acid. Perhaps it was the glass (I was not at home). Still a lot of fermentation leads to some excellent CO2.
Fruity dry finish, light hop. This beer has a decent mouthfeel and subtle alcohol taste for it’s content.
Complex flavor. But not as enjoyable as I expected. Though I’m not sure I had a fair shake at it.

May 27, 2008 This is a good brew, but definitely overpriced and definitely overrated. Save yer money, chums!

May 27, 2008 A beautiful beer. Cloudy golden orange color with moderate white head that really lasts and has good lacing. Aroma is light, with citrus, coriander and yeast. Flavor is much stronger than the aroma, with continued citrus, some banana, bread and floral notes and some spice in the finish. I have to disagree a bit with the poster below me--I think the flavor actually hides the 9% ABV very well. It is medium to full bodied with a smooth creamy mouthfeel. A very nice beer and a surprisingly good representative of the style.
