3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 jerc (5588) - Toronto, - OCT 26, 2008
2008-10-17. Murky pastel yellow-orange, small ring of head. Big aroma, fruit, citrus and citrus peel, grass, might be touch of clove back there. (7+) Very fruity flavour, light citrus and spice. Light astringency towards the finish. Smooth average plus palate, modest carbonation. Very drinkable, I quite liked this one, but samples the next day were just a bit less lovely, touch more muted and muddled. Numbers are for the first sample. Cask @ Volo Cask Days 2008

Cask at Victory Summer Fest - poured an opaque glowing peach with a good, tight white head. Incredible aroma of fressssssh hops, a soft, dry, kind of spiciness. Flavour almost as nice, with a prickly spice on the tongue, light pit fruits, orange and a nice candy sweetness. Very close to being my favourite beer of the fest, and if there weren’t so many other options, I could have drank this all day. Bravo, Cameron’s, your best beer to date.

Cask sample at Volo Cask Days 2008. Slightly hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma of orange rind and spice, very nice. Flavour of orangey hops and tingly spice, with just enough malt to back it up. As others have said below, this was soooo drinkable.

[1792-20081017] Cask. Orange flesh and rind aroma with a hoppy earth base. Murky, light orange brown body with a quick foamy white head. More earthy orange peel hops in the flavour. Medium body is bitter. Great bitter hoppy balance.

Cask At Volo Cask Days 08.
Aroma of peach with citrus hops, cloudy apricot, tiny head. Flavour is a fine citrus combo of red grapefruit, blood oranges and kumquats, the malt is able to handle this nicely. Light bodied, well balanced quite drinkable, a great session ale.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 tupalev (2730) - Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 9, 2008
On cask at Volo cask days 2008. Orangeish yellow, small white head. Nice aroma - lots of citrus, malt. Taste is really good - very creamy body, very refreshing citrus hops, works really really well with the base beer. Man, this was the most drinkable beer of the fest! Refreshing and full of flavour, what a winner.

Cask. At Volo Cask Days 2008. Hazy orange-yellow pour with a very large creamy off-white lasting head. Lovely lush spicy citrus hop aroma, sweet citrus juice malt - nice stuff for an amber (really? seemed at least APA to me ...). The taste didn’t carry through quite enough, it was lighter, the hops seemed much more muted, leaving a pleasant malty light amber ale in its stead. Soft and light mouthfeel, mild carbonation, and slightly sticky on the tongue - pretty solid, and extremely easy to drink, a real quencher.

Cask at ’Volo Cask Days 2008’. Pours a hazy golden-orange with a lasting fluffy white head. Lovely hoppy aroma with light subtle spices and some fruit. Delicious hoppy, fruity flavour with a nice bitter finish. Average to medium bodied. So easy to drink, I’m quite impressed (and surprised) at how good this is -- Camerons, please make this available year-round.
