Initially sweet aroma with some floral hops but slowly creeping pea-soup-like DMS as it warms. Clear golden coloured with thin, white head that diminishes to lighltly ring.

Bottled. Golden colour, lightly hazy, not much head. Medium sweet with clean rounded mouthfeel and some bready malt. Medium bitterness. Solid.

omhper in Montreal #1 (with MartinT,tiggmtl,Rastacouere,DYCSoccer). Light blonde, reasonably fresh, hay and grass and a bit of sharpness to the nose...very heavy carbonation, light, rather dry, straw and paper...nice ending hops. Nothing stellar, but thanks Stephen for this rarity!
