3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at Beer Bistro. Appearance: champagne yellow with a tiny white head. Aroma: almost saison like - bitter, salty, lemon, wheat, hops. Flavour: nice and spicy, hops, salt, grass with a nice malty tangy finish. I’m pleasantly surprised.

Draught. At C’Est What Spring Fest. Pale gold with a large creamy/fluffy lasting white head. Dry aroma of coriander, banana, pear and candi sugar, quite floral. Fruity taste, with balancing strong coriander and pungent floral bitterness. Surprisingly thick mouthfeel, intensely yeasty, spicy with a long linger - "light"? how is this light??? It is, however, pretty damned good - surprise of the fest for me. I can’t believe I’m saying this, based on past experience, but - well done!

On tap C’est What Spring Fest 2009. Light yellow, small white head. Fruity light malt aroma - pleasant. Nice taste - light malt, light hops, refreshing. An excellent summer beer. I do not think it should be classified as a mild ale. The surprise of the fest for me!

On tap @ C’est What Spring Fest.
Aroma has a good level of malt, mild hops too, Light yellow, small white head. Taste is a lighter malt than the nose, with some pleasing bready, cookie notes. Light bodied, quite drinkable. A very good offering, nice session ale!

On tap at C’est What - came an almost clear straw gold with a good thick white head. Aroma quite yeasty, and a bit of sweet malt. Flavour beautiful, and almost wit-like. Yeast, green apple, a very mild touch of green hop....nice. Faint bitterness in the finish. Very, very nice light summer beer for the strength. Would have this often.

UPDATED: JUN 17, 2009 A beer that the brewery has constantly refined! Saaz hops through the flavour and aroma. Two row Canadian malt and wheat malt in the grain bill.

[1710-20080916] Tap. Hoppy citrus grass aroma has some bread yeast. Clear, golden orange body with a long-lasting creamy white head. Yeasty bready citrus flavour finishes long and bitter and grainy. Light-medium body. A particularly refreshing pint after cycling +30km that day...

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught at Volo. Light, bright gold with a good sized white head. Aroma and flavour are both light and fresh, with not-too-sweet malt and more hops than I expected. A really nice summer beer - and at 3.5%, super-sessionable.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: OCT 19, 2008 Draught at Volo. Pours a clear yellow with an average size diminishing white head. Mild aroma of light malt, fruit and some hops. Simple flavour of grain, light hops and a light bitter finish. Light to average bodied. For a Light beer from this brewery, It’s better then I expected -- not great but not bad -- it’s easy to drink.

2008-09-16. Crisp golden yellow body with a decent off-white head. (3+) Surprisingly hoppy aroma, wheat and a brief fruity hint at lime/citrus notes. Tart wheat in the flavour, light bitterness. Sharp grassy hops in the finish linger a bit. Hop forward with a light underlying pale malt character. Average palate suits it. Rather refreshing after an 18km bike ride down Yonge Street! <i>On tap at Cafe Volo, Toronto</i>
