50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Fruity hoppy aroma. Sweet caramel malt flavoured with a distinct floral hops note. Light bitterness to a nice citrusy hops accent. Ends medium dry.

Bottle, 5.0%. Clear golden colour. Small white head. Sweetish aroma. Aromatic hop flavour, slightly teaish, and slightly sweet. Not bad.

Sample at TFOB ’08 from the bottle. Medium orange, small white head. Decent aroma - sweet, citrus. Taste is sweet as well, but light enough to be refreshing. More hops than I was expecting. Good stuff.

[1529-20080712] 500mL bottle. Sweet caramelized pine needles aroma has a leafy malt tinge. Clear, medium orange body with a small quick foamy white head. Sweet grainy caramelized malt flavour. Light-medium body. OK, if a little boring.

Bottle (500ml) shared with HogTownHarry at Volo. Pours a clear golden-orange with an average size diminishing frothy white head. Aroma’s sweet,a touch sugary, along with light floral hops, some fruit and a hint of vegetal notes. Flavour, also sweet, of caramel malt, grain, a bit of honey and a light bitter finish. Average bodied. Nothing great but it’s alright.

Bottle (500ml). Shared with blankboy at Volo. Clear amber pour with a large fluffy sticky white head. Floral clover aroma, slightly dusty and spicy - the taste seems quite honey-like, very sweet, with floral bitterness in the finish not quite catching up to the caramel. Average body, slightly rosehip astringency, with a quick sweet finish. Refreshing, if too sweet, and fairly unmemorable.

Bottle sample at Toronto’s Festival of Beer 2008. Clear deep golden with a good sized white head. Aroma is very nice, with notes of citrus and tropical fruit. Soft mouthfeel. Flavour is fresh and zesty, with citric hops sitting on a solid malt backbone. Nice and summery, very enjoyable.
