Clear orange. Sweet hops on the nose. Fairly large presence of hops. Sweet hints but dry and bitter on the finish. Could use a better finish.

Hoppy aroma, golden colour. After trying so many mediocre beers at Brewsters, to try one with some actually flavour was a refreshing change. Decent beer.

Powertrip (841) - Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - FEB 24, 2012
Single bottle purchased from Brewsters Brew Pub on 11th ave SW in Calgary, AB on 02/24/2012. Colour: Dark yellow with minimal white head. Nose: Typical Brewsters blast of caramel/toffee malt. It is very dominant in this one. Taste: Medium sweet, medium-light bitter, light sour. Overly sugared. Lots of sweetness up front then settles into bitterness. A tossing of orange somewhere in the mix.

reebtogi (2162) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - AUG 27, 2011
Pint on tap in Edmonton at the Oliver Square location. Poured a nice golden color with small white head and little lacing. Light hops in the aroma. Taste is light malty sweetness followed by a not too pleasing bitterness in the finish. This would be a better beer with a smoother finish.

Draft at Brewsters 11th Ave. Pours clear gold, 1-finger white head, quickly reduced. Little lacing. Nose is light grassy hops and clean, rich barley. Flavours are nicely bitter, quite balanced, nice grassy grapefruit finish. Tasty stuff.

patricks110 (907) - Alberta, CANADA - AUG 13, 2009
Overall, I was not too impressed with this beer, Pour of golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of hops and wheat and grass. Taste is smooth and slightly bitter. A bit of a aftertaste, but not inhibiting the beer overall.

Vertical Bacon Strips (1698) - Asshat, Alberta, CANADA - JUN 23, 2009
Got my standard pour from Brewsters - zero cap (dumb) but it just occurred to me that the reason for this is because they always fill the glass to the brink of spilling over, so, I guess that isn’t a bad thing after all! So, from here on, I’ll have to remember not to crap on them too much about it. Thin deep gold beer with the thinnest of thin white film. The aroma seems to be almost entirely Cascade hops. The taste is decent with some weak grapefruit but it’s too watery, dammit. Medium bodied, comes across a touch sour with a nice bitter finish. Easy drinking stuff.

Cirrhosis (931) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - JUN 16, 2009
Dark copper body with a white film floating on top. Very hoppy citrus aroma (mouth starts to water uncontrollably) Bubble gum, toffee, watermelon. Good malt flavour with a slight toast, a lingering bitterness hangs around in the finish. Salt water toffee, watermelon, grape fruit sweet sugar. Ack!!! I keep burping up hops. Good beer by far one of there best.

jgb9348 (3492) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - JAN 24, 2009
Light amber coloured body with no head at all. Aroma of malt, caramel and light hops. Medium-bodied; Sharp malt and hops up fron tiwht some bitter nuts and metallic flavours soon afterwards. Aftertaste bitter and it shows - some hops, a little bit of alcohol. Overall, decent, but still a bit too bitter and strong. I sampled this beer served on draught at the Brewpub in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (Northwest City Centre location) on 28-December-2008.
