650mL bottle from the LCBO. Pours gold. Nice white head. Very malty and very well balanced. I’d happily drink it anytime. My mother says it’s reminiscent of Molson Golden as it was 25 years ago.

On tap. Poured quite well. Full rich aroma with so many different characteristics coming through. Creates almost a warm sensation going down. Even the aftertaste was comforting.

Fresh fruitiness, lemon, pineapple and nice piny, floral hoppy nose. Aroma is malty fruitiness and loads of piny, grassy and floral hops. Dryish finish.

Pours a hazy orange, with minimal head. Aroma is heavy on the citrus hops. Malt flavor is grapefruit, with a bit of sweetness. Nice dry finish, but I do think the palate is a bit off for this one... if they bumped up the malt a bit, it might give it a little more umph in the body department. Overall a decent pale.
