Draft - Citrus and perfumy light aroma. Gold with a thin head. Nice sweet and malty with a quick burst of citrus and bitterness. A very nice pale ale.

Pours a clear amber colour with a small white head and moderate lacing. Aroma is fruity, sweet citrus, caramel and floral. Flavour is caramel, sweet maltiness, resin, grapefruit, and overall a pretty tame mild bitterness that seems to linger a little.

Pint on tap at the Beer Revolution in Oliver Square, Edmonton pours a golden orange color with a small white head that leaves some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is citrus and caramel with some light floral notes. Taste is a bold grapefruit bitterness with an underlying caramel malty sweetness. Medium body with moderate carbonation. A very tasty pale ale that begs to be sampled.

On tap at Firkin. Pours a clear dark amber with an off-white head leaving some lacing. Aroma has pine and citrus, with some sweet malts. Tatse is of heavy sugary malt and slight pine. Huge disappointment after a solid aroma. Medium bodied. Finishes heavily sweet.

On tap at Killer Burger and served in a pint glass. Pours a deep amber color with a thin off-white head and good lacing. Aroma is predominately citrus hops. Taste is the same, but with a nice malt backbone to balance it out. Nice mouthfeel, good carbonation. Overall, very well balanced and easy to drink
