Jun 27, 2008 On tap at Volo. A big surprise of a beer. I personally enjoyed this one very much. Aroma was very sweet with bananas and cloves on the nose. Flavour was similar with sweet spices; cardamom, cumin, cloves. This drank like Denison’s Weissbier with a twist. Great job on this one Durham!

Aug 6, 2008 [1337-20080510] Cask. Orange doughy yeast aroma has mild light fruit notes. Hazy, light brown orange body with a medium-lasting creamy white head and long lacing rings. Light fruity dough yeast flavour has a nice long subtle aftertaste. Medium body is smooth and creamy with a mildly bitter aftertaste. Really impressive, partly due to being on cask, but an excellent specimen regardless.

May 11, 2008 On cask at Volo. Cloudy yellow, small white head. Nice yeasty aroma,pleasant. Taste shows promise - there is a nice base of flavour here, lots of banana, yeast and some lemon, but I found that there was a buttery aspect to it that distracted. I would also like a lighter more carbonated body for the style, I think that would really accentuate the solid base of flavours here. I’ll chalk these slight detractions to sampling it is cask form - I always appreciate good fresh Ontario cask beer, especially from these guys, but I think this style would be better served on tap. Thanks for another new offering Durham.

May 12, 2008 Cask at Volo. Pours a cloudy dark gold with an average size diminishing creamy white head. Decent lacing. Aroma of butterscotch, yeast and light spices -- a little to butterscotchy, almost like diacytl. Refreshing flavour, quite easy to drink, perhaps a tad watery. Yeasty with caramel malt and spices. Averege bodied. This one is hard for me to pin down -- I do like it and it’s easy to drink, but it’s almost a bit too light for me and the butterscotch distracts. Still, I’d have it again and I’d like to try it on draught.
