I tried this beer after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer pouerd a translucent dark gold with a generous fluffy white head which disappeared quickly. The aroma was metal, malt, and some hops. The mouthfeel is weak bodied, watery, and highly carbonated. The flavour is wet grass, some metal, and slightly bitter.

Pours pale gold with a thin white head. Grainy, some fruit (light apple/apricot) biscuity, slightly skunky aroma flavour is light grassy hop, medium biscuity malt, very clean and light finish. Maybe a little watery, but well balanced and drinkable.

473 ml can from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass.

App.: Fairly deep golden with a so-so white head. Aroma: Lots of sweet, fruity, biscuit malts, toasted cereals, very light grassiness. Palate: Medium+ body, smooth, pervasive effervescence. Flav.: Similar to the nose with lots of lightly fruity, biscuit, grain, cereal malts, nary a hint of hops anywhere; almost off-dry with no bitterness.

Definitely the weakest offering I’ve had from this brewer.

can. Poured clear straw coloured with a scant white fizzy head. A bit sour grassy aroma. Crisp, carbonated, medium mouthfeel. Mild honey sweetness with corn flavour. Finishes dry.

Very noisy head. Nice and thick over a pretty bland golden pour. Sweet corn and hops in the nose. Very distinct taste. Very little ’beer’ taste. Mostly grassy corny sweetness. Overall mild and pleasant. Nothing offensive here. Nothing that stands out either though. Not a bad brew.

Golden straw appearance. Scent of yeast and very grassy, slightly citric. Went down well enough, pretty bland though. A bad finish does not help matters. Not bad for what it is though.

Dumped out of the can into my glass. Got a small amount of bright white head on top of a clear light golden brew, ring retention, a bit of thin, ropy lacing. The aroma is quite mild, pleasantly sweet with a dry grass smell, a touch of apple, a hint of caramel and nice smelling hops. Gotta breathe a bit to deep to hit all this up and that’s my only crack on the aroma. Where’s the flavour? So mild but still nice. Grassy, drying wheat, weak caramel and a hint of floral hops. The body is just above thin. Softly carbonated, weak bitterness and dry finish. Waaay to watery which is too bad since the flavour here is decent - just need more of it - a lot more.

473 ml can from Harry! Nose of grassy hops and yeasty grain. Yellow with a big white head. Flavor is grain with some light bitterness and pepperiness.
