beerbuzzmontreal (2701), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Aug 6, 2005 Cloudy golden color with a thin white head. Aroma and flavor of malt and honey. Light body, soft carbonation. tiggmtl (4181), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Mar 31, 2005 Mildly fruity, sweet malty aroma with some notes of licorice. Clear golden body with shy white head. Fair licorice note to the grainy flavour. Light body. Seems somewhat unattenuated and lightly oxidised. Sampled at the brewpub with MartinT, muzzlehatch and Rastacouere.
MartinT (4330), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Mar 28, 2005 Near-absence of aroma portends feeble citrus fruit and a weak hop finish...A nondescript bland blond which should maybe be their light instead of the Loon Island...Obviously for the macro crowd... muzzlehatch (4425), Burlington, Vermont, USA Jan 20, 2004 Sample at the brewpub. Not a promising start to my tasting spree, but it got better soon (read on, rater). Very clear pale golden, light fresh malty/grassy nose, hint of piney hops. Thin-bodied, reasonably bitter for the style, but flavor just isn't there and it seems a bit stale at the end. Volgon (2458), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Dec 21, 2003 On tap at the brewpub. Light hazy straw yellow color, light spice aroma, ends a little bitter. Very nice for the style.
