PilsnerPeter (1723), Flushing, New York, USA Jan 8, 2009 Tap at the Brewpub: Clear orange pour with a white film of head. Some fruity hops notes in the aroma. Mainly mango and a touch of peach. Creamy carbonation, with a nice hops presence in the flavor as well. Fruity and resiny character combine with some estery qualities with just a touch of bubblegum on the back. Finishes with a lightly piny bitterness. Simple, but solid and good to session. MJGG (224), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jun 12, 2008 Verre de 20 oz, d’un fût à la brasserie. Arômes de houblons citronnés et de fruits jaunes. Robe cuivrée, peu de mousse et légèrement effervescente. En bouche, elle possède un petit côté velouté et une légère acidité provenant probablement du seigle. On note également une présence fruitée et sucrée de fruits jaunes (prunes jaunes). Le houblon citronné ferme la marche de façon autoritaire pour une Pale Ale. DougShoemaker (2680), Toronto, Canada Jun 5, 2008 On tap @ Mondial 2008.
Aroma is over the top piney hops, lots of good malt too, deep amber, tiny toffee head. Taste has full on malt, with a pleasant hops kick. Full bodied, alcohol seems strong for the abv? Quite good. WeeHeavySD (2188), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Oct 24, 2007 Draft @ The Brewpub shared with Glouglouburp. Pours amber/orange with a creamy tan head. The nose is hoppy, light and fragrant. Tastes smooth hoppy and bitter, light drinkable with a nice rye flavor. mds (2111), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 7, 2006 Draught. Brown-amber body with a small white creamy head. The aroma is rather nice - yeasty fruit, apple, bread, orange hops, and some lemon. Very bready (rye) flavour with bitter hops that are somewhat unflavourful and just plainly bitter. Still quite good though.
