500 mL bottle from brewery. Clean amber with small slightly off-white head. Fruity aroma of something berrish with some beer malts in it. Flavour was more beer then berry. There was somthing there but I couldn’t quite place it. Body was decent but I would not drink this again. It seemed to artificial.

Nice summer beer. Fruit taste, but not overpowering. Sampled in person at GR brewing in Cambridge, ON.

Pale orange pour with a tight head. The aroma is very fruity with a lot of fruity berry character and a touch of lemon citrus as well. A lot of fruity sweetness but the wheat is pretty well defined in here as well. it’s okay, but I’m not loving it. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

500ml bottle from the brewery. Pours golden with a thin trace of lace. Aroma of berries and bread. The flavour has less berries than the nose would lead you to believe, but that isn’t a totally bad thing.

On tap at C’est What. Light colour with rising carbonation bumbles and mushroom room. Slight aroma of fruit and wheat. Muthfeel is creamy, taste is a tart wheat, and so what was intended. Easy drinking but not something I personally would seek out on a regular basis. The natural bitter water and the enoz salt mineral carbonation combined together to create a good amount of gas and burping.

On tap at C’est What? (Toronto, ON). Pours a clear amber color with thin head. Aroma is sweet and grassy with notes of light floral esters, blueberries, wheat, yeast. Flavor is sweet and floral with similar notes of wheat, flowers, ripe fresh fruit, blueberries, honey. Generally light to medium body with a pleasing sweet finish.

Bottle. This is an amber colour with a thin white head. The aroma is full of raspberries with wheat and honey. It’s medium bodied. The flavour has more honey with assorted berries, some grass, a slight bitterness in the finish.

slightly hazy amber pour, aroma of berries, and honey. Flavor is sweet, butnot too sweet, not cloying at all, a very well balanced summer beer. Great stuff.

On tap at the Castle on King and in bottles from the brewery. Golden yellow pour, good sized white head. Nice berry on the nose - very much in the background with some wheat and sweetness. Taste is nice - actually quite malty with again, the berry in the background. Very drinkable. A really nice fruit beer.

A hazy murky golden ale with a thick creamy white pinkish head. A pleasant sourish lactic fruit aroma, with light perfumey tones. In mouth, a good crisp malt with light berry acidic points, very classy. Overall, this brewery impresses, even with a mundane fruit beer. Bottle brought to me by Probstk.
